I enjoy garlic. Roasting is quite simple, and there are several methods to do it. It tastes fantastic when combined with hummus, pasta sauce, crackers, bread, and pretty about anything else!

Instructions
- Method 1: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (125 degrees C). Slice 1/4 inch off top of garlic bulb. Place in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, until outside is lightly browned and garlic cloves are soft. When cool enough to touch, squeeze each clove to extract softened garlic.

20 minutes was long enough. I threw mine in the microwave to finish it. Btw, done eat 2 bulbs as a healthy snack. Or at least my body wasn’t a fan. Tasty though.
I added a bit of Parmesan Cheese to the top of mine. This was quick, easy and yummy. Thanks for sharing
I have made this over and over again. My family can’t get enough of the baked fresh garlic. Thank you
My family eats this on bowtie pasta with a little butter. It makes the entire house smell heavenly. Family favorite.
I love Garlic Roasted now and use on many different dishes! Its amazing!
Had to make changes after trying it per the recipe. Increased the temperature of my oven to 325-350 degrees, baked it covered for 50 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your garlic heads. Mine usually turns out pretty good. Although I do start with homegrown garlic, maybe that makes a difference.
I cover peeled cloves with extra virgin or virgin olive oil in a skillet and heat to just below simmering. Cook on stove top until your desired taste and tenderness. Cool, store in covered glass container. Use cloves whole or as a paste; the infused oil in infinite ways.
Turned out great. But had to cook it 30 mins.
Quick and easy! Really good spread!
I had 2 small heads that I cut the tops off, drizzled with EVOO and sprinkled with salt and wrapped each head in aluminum foil. They were done in about an hour at 350 degrees since they were small. Took the advice of checking with a toothpick. Then I found out from searching the Net I could freeze individual cubes in an ice tray. The roasted garlic was good on our warm dinner rolls and I’m planning on adding a cube when I make mashed potatoes.
Did method #2 but set the oven to 400 degrees F and 18 minutes and it came out perfectly!!!!
There so many ways you can use roasted garlic, and this great way to get it done.
I think the roasting temperature is not high enough. Maybe the garlic would be cooked well in 20 minutes if it were cooked at 350 or higher.
Wrapped the bulbs in a foil pouch for easy clean up. 400 degrees for 40 minutes from the other recipe was perfect. Soft and spreadable.
Method 2 took way too long, go with method 1
The cooking time and temperature were way way off and I have a restaurant grade stove. Tried method number two but it was not ready in 15 minutes at 250 F so had to turn up the temperature way up. This delayed our dinner as it was supposed to be for bread accompanying soup. If you had to make major adjustments, it is not a 4 or 5 star recipe folks.
This was easy and tasted great, but be sure to cut off the real dark brown edges it may be very bitter and though off your recipes. Thanks, Happy Cooking!
The aroma is wonderful! I used muffun or cupcake pans and wrap each in foil.
This turned out great but needed to be roasted for at least an hour at a higher temperature. I roasted it at 335 degrees for about 70 minutes. Thank you CONI67 for sharing your recipe!
This recipe is just way off in realistic time and temp for roasting plus the amount of oil needed per head. I suggest 1T of oil per head,
I have roasted garlic before to put in my spinach salad. I roast it on 350 for 25 minutes and I Slice off the top of the bulb then drizzle olive oil on it and wrap it in aluminum foil and it turns out great.
