Oven Roasted Garlic

Tami Kramer Nutmeg Notebook

Roasting garlic takes away the "bite" and makes it tastes, buttery, nutty, sweeter, creamy and delicious.

Preheat oven to 400°
In an 8 inch baking pan or smaller or larger depending on how much garlic you are roasting. Place the garlic along with 2-3 tablespoons water.
Cover the pan with foil or a glass lid if it has one.
Bake until golden brown and soft. Checking every 15 minutes to make sure there is a little water in the bottom of the pan to prevent it from sticking and burning.
Once cool, divide into small portions and freeze in freezer safe containers.
It will last for months when properly stored in the freezer.

Use in sauces, salad dressings, mashed potatoes, pesto and any recipe that calls for garlic.
