Roasted Garlic
It only takes a few minutes to roast garlic, and with our Roasted Garlic recipe, you’ll have an easy way to make dishes you already know better.
The nice thing about roasting garlic is all it takes to work into your cooking routine is remembering to throw a bulb or two into the oven every few weeks. You can even do it when you’re roasting something else.
The roasting method we use came out of some testing we did to see if we could find the best way to roast garlic. You can read what we found out at Three Recipes: The Best Way to Roast Garlic.
If you’re going to use the garlic as a spread or a dip you can put a light sprinkle of salt and pepper on the top before roasting it. You’ll also want to roast it a little longer to make it more spreadable. You can store roasted garlic in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of weeks, using it as you need it.
One of our favorite recipes to make with roasted garlic is Great Northern Beans with Rosemary and Roasted Garlic. The roasted garlic adds a depth of flavor to the beans bringing an entirely new dimension to the dish.
