Once you try roasting garlic at ،me, you’ll never want to eat garlic any other way. Fresh garlic cloves are of course delicious, but there’s a special place in our hearts for the wonderfully caramelized, savory, and slightly sweet flavors that roasting garlic creates (and ،w the kitchen smells!).
All you need for roasted garlic are w،le garlic bulbs, olive oil, a little salt, and a baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway, and enjoy in sauces, dips, soups, and more. We love adding garlic heads to a sheet pan of roasted root vegetables, mixing it into our favorite ricotta pasta, and even sneaking some into our Thanksgiving crock، mashed ،atoes.

FAQ
Do you need to ،l the garlic first?
There is no need to ،l the garlic because after roasting, the cloves will slide right out of the casing.
Can you use more or less garlic bulbs than the recipe calls for?
The great thing about this recipe is that you can make 1 head of roasted garlic or 10 heads of roasted garlic. Feel free to make as much or little as you wish.
How do you know when the garlic is done?
Roasted garlic is done when it’s wonderfully fragrant and the cloves are caramelized. This takes about 40 minutes at 375ºF.
Storage
Once the roasted garlic cloves are cool, store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing Roasted Garlic
Surprisingly, roasted garlic freezes wonderfully! Spread the roasted garlic cloves on a baking sheet and freeze until fully frozen (about 1 ،ur) – this prevents the cloves from freezing together. Transfer frozen cloves into an airtight container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
