How do you roast your garlic?

interesting to hear how many ways (and of course, this is Usenet, how
many INFERIOR TO YOUR OWN ways) there are to roast garlic. [snip]

I usually do two or three heads at once, wrapping them in aluminum
foil, doubled over for thickness. Cut the top off, drizzle olive oil
over, bake at 350°F for 45 - 60 minutes. I'll use the toaster oven if
that's all I'm baking, or the regular oven if there's something else in
there. Three heads is more than usually needed at one time, but we've
never had any trouble using it up within a few days. If nothing else,
you can make roasted garlic butter and freeze it. -aem

I initially did it Italian-restaurant style - cut the top off the whole
head, exposing each clove a little bit in the process. Drizzle with
olive oil and roast in the oven until tender and golden, about 45 mins
depending on oven temp....

^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is how I roast mine.

How do you roast your garlic?

I don't bother with the olive oil or cutting off the top or separating
cloves. I just stick a head of garlic on a bit of aluminium foil at 350F
for about an hour.

I've found it's just as easy to do in the toaster oven. i'll do a whole
head or just separate a few cloves and put them in a pyrex
ramekin.....drizzle with olive oil.....the heat is so concentrated that
they will roast at 350 in about 20 minutes.

I can't stand the roasted garlic cloves you can get at the store. they
taste funny. and it's so easy and cheap to do it myself.

the advantage of doing them as needed, a few cloves at a time, is that
it makes the whole house smell garlic-y and delicious, no matter what's
for dinner!

I put a little olive oil on it, then wrap the entire untrimmed head in
foil. Roast at 275 for about 1/2 hour.

But of course!

I wrap it in foil after cutting the top off. And season it with a
little S&P.

I'd be concerned with burning doing it this way. I've also roasted
garlic on my gas grill outside and in the smoker pit. I check for
doneness by gently squeezing the head to check the tenderness factor.

Huh, this has been an interesting thread. I usually separate the cloves on
a baking sheet, roast them at 350F degrees, drizzeled with olived oil.
Takes about 20 minutes, I'd say.

If you wrap the head in foil, doesn't it steam more than roast? Just
askin'.

The foil isn't closed. It's up mainly to keep the oil from running
all over the place.
