Ingredients

• 3 whole Garlic bulbs
• 1.5 cups Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Remove loose outer layers of the garlic bulbs, leaving the skins on the individual cloves intact.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves.

Step 4

Place the garlic bulbs cut-side up in a small, oven-safe baking dish or a piece of aluminum foil with the edges folded upward to form a container.

Step 5

Pour olive oil over the garlic bulbs, ensuring the tops are well coated, then pour the remaining oil into the dish so the bulbs are partially submerged.

Step 6

Sprinkle the garlic bulbs with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil or seal the edges of your aluminum foil container to create a sealed package.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft, golden, and caramelized. You should be able to easily squeeze the garlic out of the skins.

Step 9

Once done, carefully remove from the oven and let the garlic cool in the oil until it is safe to handle.

Step 10

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and transfer to a jar or airtight container.

Step 11

Strain the garlic oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a separate jar or bottle, discarding any solids.

Step 12

Store the roasted garlic in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and the garlic oil in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Use both as desired!
