How to Make Roasted Garlic

Have you ever wanted to make your own roasted garlic? It’s super easy and fun! Roasted garlic is not only tasty but also adds a wonderful flavor to many dishes. Let’s learn how to make it step by step.

What You’ll Need

  • Whole garlic bulbs
  • Olive oil
  • Aluminum foil
  • Baking sheet

Steps to Make Roasted Garlic

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

First, you need to preheat your oven to 400°F. This is important because it ensures that the garlic cooks evenly and becomes nice and soft.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic

Take your whole garlic bulbs and place them on a baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space around them so they can roast properly.

Step 3: Add Olive Oil

Drizzle some olive oil over the garlic bulbs. You want to make sure each bulb is well coated with the oil. This helps the garlic cook and gives it a delicious flavor.

Step 4: Wrap in Aluminum Foil

Wrap each garlic bulb in aluminum foil. This keeps the heat in and helps the garlic become soft and golden brown.

Step 5: Bake the Garlic

Place the wrapped garlic bulbs in the oven and bake them for about 40 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cloves are soft and have a nice golden color.
