Ingredients
- 2 heads jumbo garlic or 3 to 4 heads of small garlic
- 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat Oven 325 or 350 degrees
- Seperate the garlic gloves. Leave the skin on. Place in an oven proof 1 quart bowl.
- Pour the olive oil into the bowl - use enough oil to cover the garlic.
- Wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Or use an oven proof cover that fits tightly on the bowl. Place the bowl on a sheetpan.
- Roast at 325 or 350 degree temperature for 1 hour.Note: The jumbo size garlic cooked just soft enough and not mushy in the 1 hour. If you are using smallar garlic you will need to adjust the cooking time downwards. Also, If you want the garlic to be a little mushy, roast a little longer.
- Remove the roasted garlic from the oven. When it's cool enough to handle, remove the skin (they will come right off when you touch them).
Notes
Storage: I store the garlic in small glass bottles covered in the oil. I usually keep them in the fridge up to 3 days and whatever amount I don't plan to use I freeze them. They can store well in the freezer and can last a long time. However I usually don't keep them for more than 3 months. Quite frankly, I have to make a fresh batch every 2 months.
Each tablespoon garlic olive oil is approximately 120 calories.
