This household staple is a must for garlic lovers & even for those who don’t care for garlic. Use in place of butter on bread, zap into a paste for baked potatoes, spread on homemade pizza or just eat it plain. It’s so sweet it’s addictive!
2 heads Garlic or One 1# tub of Whole Peeled Garlic
Good EVOO
Salt & Pepper
Method One:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the heads of garlic in half to expose the clove halves.
– if using whole peeled, dump onto a sheet of foil.
Place the heads cut side up on foil.
Drizzle with EVOO & season with salt & pepper.
Bake for 1 hour.
Remove & cool slightly.
Method Two:
If you have a garlic roaster, prep the garlic as above & place in the roaster (no foil).
Drizzle with oil & season with salt & pepper.
Cover & put into a cold oven.
Set the temperature to 325 degrees.
Bake 1 hour & 15 minutes.
Check for doneness by poking the largest cloves with a fork.
Ever since my 8th grade home economics class, where I made boxed tacos for the first time, I knew cooking was in my blood. I've had the honor of having my recipes published in New Hampshire Magazine, Taste of Home, the Nashua Telegraph and several cookbooks.
