How To Roast Garlic & How To Substitute It Out
This recipe uses roasted garlic but if you don’t have time you can use garlic powder or minced garlic.
Why use Roast Garlic? Roast garlic is sweeter than regular garlic in flavour and adds a warmth to most recipes. Mix it together with butter, add it to gravy or add to soup and it’s to die for.
How do I make Roast Garlic? Roast garlic is incredibly simple to make you just need Foil, Oil and a Whole Garlic Bulb.
1. Cut off the tip of your bulb of garlic so the insides of the cloves show. This makes it easier to squeeze out the finished and soft garlic once roasted.
2. Place the garlic bulb onto some aluminium foil and drizzle with oil such as olive oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil etc.
3. Wrap the foil up tight and place onto a tray to prevent the oil dripping out and roast at 180 degrees for 30 minutes or until the garlic has softened and can be squeeze out easily. Tip: A good sign it’s ready is when your kitchen smells deliciously like garlic.
