Roasted Garlic
Roasted garlic is simple to prepare, tastes great, even on its own with only a touch of salt, or as a cooking ingredient. Adding roasted garlic to soups, stews or mashed potato offers lots of subtle flavour without the pungency of raw garlic.

What’s the serving size?
Serves 2
What do I need?
- 1 garlic head
- 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil
How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 160C
- Peel most of the outer garlic head wrappers and trim half a centimetre off the top of the garlic head.
- Place the garlic head (or heads) on a piece of aluminium foil big enough to wrap around the heads.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the exposed tops of the cloves and allow the olive oil to run down to the inner parts of the garlic head.
- Wrap garlic in the aluminium foil and place it on a baking tray, in the oven (trimmed top facing up).
- Bake for 40 minutes.
Note : For deeper colour and flavour extend the roasting time to 50-60 minutes. Store any leftover roasted garlic refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 6-7 weeks.
