Roasted garlic is one of my favorite flavors, and I love to add it anywhere I can!  My dad taught me this simple method which generates the most flavorful roasted garlic every time.

How to Make the Best Oven Roasted Garlic

The full recipe is available for you below, but here are a couple of tips for you to consider when making this roasted garlic:

  • Preparing Your Garlic: firstly, slice the top off of the bulb of garlic to expose the garlic inside each clove.  This is important because it will help you remove the garlic inside once cooked.  Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the garlic bulb.
  • Wrapping Your Garlic: after that, wrap your garlic in a small piece of aluminum foil, and wrap it tightly to ensure that steam or air cannot escape.  This is important because it will ensure that the garlic cooks evenly,
