Colt and I went out to a little Italian spot for our 17th Wedding Anniversary and they served Oven Roasted Garlic with bread. I had forgotten just how much I love Oven Roasted Garlic and decided to make it instead of garlic bread the other night with the Linguine Pasta with Shrimp and Walnut Pesto I will be sharing later this week.
I also use Oven Roasted Garlic a lot in Mashed Potatoes, on Pizza, and Salad Dressing. The sweet buttery Roasted Garlic makes a great substitute for butter on bread at the dinner table. The applications are endless.
If you've never made it, it's well worth the time! Oven Roasted Garlic will quickly become a kitchen staple.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut about 1/4" off of tops of Heads of Garlic, to expose cloves. Place in a small oven proof baking dish. Drizzle with 3-4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with Salt. Rub to coat well with oil.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and cloves are soft.
Oven Roasted Garlic is so easy to make and the flavor is incredible! It's fun to serve on a Antipasti tray for a party along with breads, dips, olives, and meat, it won't last long. Oven Roasted Garlic is a great swap for butter on garlic bread.
The possibilities are endless.
