Roasting garlic is super easy to prepare and there are a zillion uses for roasted garlic –like a spread for bread!– which I do in this video for a quick crostini idea.
Roasted garlic makes a great addition to rice, potato, and quinoa dishes, jams, salad dressings…most things are better with a little garlic.

Roasted Garlic Recipe Directions:
When buying, choose garlic bulbs that are firm and have an intact “papery” outer covering. Avoid soft bulbs, or bulbs that have give and seem dry and desiccated.
And buy bigger bulbs with bigger cloves! Peeling garlic is a semi-pain, so make it easier on yourself and choose the largest cloves available.
Remove the papery outer covering and separate the cloves.
Do you have a secret tip (that really works!) for quickly peeling garlic cloves? If so, please let me know! I’ve found that the best way for me is the tried and true one-at-a-time method: just give each clove a gentle whack, enough to break the peel, and then remove the skin.
Place peeled cloves on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Drizzle with olive oil. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just enough to coat the cloves.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and any dried herbs or seasonings you like. I usually add a little thyme.
Stir and coat the cloves in the oil and seasonings and then close up the aluminum foil like a Hershey’s Kiss.
Place of a baking sheet and slide into an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake 30-40 minutes and they’ll be soft and ready for use.
Raw garlic is super strong with a burning bite, but roasting mellows out the bite and transforms the garlic into a tasty treat that
can be popped into your mouth whole. I usually eat a handful of cloves when they’re right out of the oven–I can’t help myself!
Warm roasted garlic is great on a crostini, which is really just a fancy piece of toast.
Toast slices of French bread and smear on the warm garlic cloves like butter. Top with feta cheese, capers, and kalamata olives for a quick treat.
Use roasted garlic as a spread for sandwiches.
Mix into mashed potatoes or rice dishes (or quinoa).
Add roasted garlic to salads or mash into salad dressings.
Add to jams, and gravies, and guacamole.
Mix with butter for garlic bread.
Add roasted garlic to anything; it’s a great item to have in the fridge.
Store refrigerated and it will keep several days, store in a jar refrigerated and covered with oil, and it will keep a little longer,
but there are so many uses for roasted garlic, it will be very easy to find ways to quickly use it up.
Give this roasted garlic recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

nice greek ingridients nice recipe simple but tasty
Lovely presentation ❤️
The way it worked for me is a metallic shaker where u would make a martini like 5 or 7 garlics at a time (Not the whole head). Then shake it for few seconds but very hard. That’s it. It will come out pealed.
you're so cool 😻
why is this so sensual. enjoying it honestly
I bought a garlic peeler at the dollar store
Doesn’t cooking it over 60 degrees Celsius or 140 Fahrenheit kill of most of the nutrients?
I just had to subscribe… this is enjoyable to watch.
Simple just make sure the lid is pointing down and shake violently the clothes will hit the metal bottom and then break apart
Fast and best way to peel garlic is have someone do it for you, that simple!
Shaking it does work but yes you need more power. Mainly, you're not using any leverage in that tiny jar. The bigger the container, the better. I've used two large mixing bowls (one closed over the top of the other). The power of gravity and their own weight will do the rest. Would be funny to see it thrown into a centrifuge.
What a great idea for snacks. Thanks from Australia !
Yoooooo I am in stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lool at the jar trick and it coming back together lol yah right!!
It does work for me
They make a rubber tube that you put the garlic in then roll it between your hands then dump it out and the paper comes off .
Like for the magic garlic jar.
Your pants wont be fancy cause you'll have diarroerrhea
Try shaking them in the jar after you separate the cloves.
lol comes back together that was pretty good!
THERE'S A LITTLE RUBBER TUBE YOU CAN BUY, PUT IN A TUBE AND RUB IN HAND OR COUNTER TOP.
DOES A GREAT JOB OF REMOVING THOSE SKINS. IT IS A TIMER SAVER FOR ME.
You have to cut the tips off the cloves before the jar shake. Works perfect after that.
It’s garlic man ,no herbs and crap necessary!
Thank you!
They make a rubber tube on Amazon and roll the cloves in them and the falls right off.
Yum!
You need your own cooking show. 10/10 would watch!
Wish I had seen this before cutting the wrong end off,having the cloves go flying… thank you 😊 I bought a 2 lb bag of garlic cloves because I hate the ‘pre-minced” – knowing that I couldn’t use it all. This solves that problem!
🎉🎉🎉Awesome!! Love your style of presenting your knowledge. Thanks a lot!
soak garlic in water for a few minutes and skin comes off with ease.
My gosh smash like your cousin part was the best
Roasted garlic- the other musical fruit. 😊
Thank you!
Lol @ back to the future.
No no no. Not cooked long enough
😂
4:27 lol dont spose ur greek?
this is actually better. no need to chop head and waste garlic. this is not garlic confit this is about just roasting exactly what i want. thank you.
This is the right way to roast garlic. So much easier in the long run removing the cloves rather than roasting the whole garlic.
Great method, I too roast mine this way because I too don't like wasting the parts that are cut off; I used to include them in the foil wrap but you're right, trying to squeeze out the garlic still leaves a bunch in the skins. Tip for peeling that works for me and you were on the right track when you put them in the jar. Jar method is one, 2 stainless mixing bowls is the other (preferred); either method requires use of both hands …. gotta use both hands to shake vigorously. For the stainless bowl method, place the broken up cloves into one bowl, put the other bowl on top, hold them tightly together and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Most of them will be peeled, just pick out the cloves. Discard the skins and shake the cloves that still have skins. This works!! Good vid, good method for roasting garlic with no waste!
Stick a knife in each clove.. turn, pop out … easy peasy
You think like me. All those “cut the top off” recipes had me perplexed. Like…..why y’all wasting garlic? 🫤🥴🤣🤣🤣 Thanks you for your recipe. 🙂
I had no idea you could roast garlic like this! I am very excited to try it. I'm afraid of very sharp knives.. I have one, but I'm afraid if I hit it wrong I'm going to cut my hand. Any other suggestions of how to peel with one whack with something other than a sharp knife? Please don't laugh I'm a new cook!
