But it wasnt until my later years in college and post-graduation that I started to fully understand all of the versatility that garlic has and all of the flavors it possesses when its prepared certainways and added at different stages in the cooking process.

Roasting garlic is super-duper easy the results are mouth-watering. Â Once youve roasted garlic youll wonder why youve never done it before or why you dont do it more often. Â The latter describes me, and Ive now started roasting big batches, refrigerating and then using at will in all sorts of recipes.
This spread goes along nicely with some Bagel Chips or a fresh baguette and even better with a glass of red wine. To incorporate into recipes start with some delicious Roasted Garlic & Bacon Macaroni and Cheese! Now go start roasting, you wont be sorry!
The tried and true method of roasting garlic in a foil packet works just fine and ismost importantlyeasy, so we've provided instructions for that approach. But I'm also offering a slightly more hands-on method that I picked up when working in restaurants, one that bridges the divide between traditional roasted garlic and garlic confit: oil-roasted garlic. For this version, garlic heads are also roasted in a hot oven, but instead of using a foil packet, they are cooked in a lidded ovenproof saucepan with an inch of oil.
The pungent aromas we commonly associate with garlic are caused by the formation of sulfur-containing compounds when garlic's cell walls are damagedwhether by a blade, a pestle, or our teeth. Rupturing garlic cells releases alliinase, an enzyme that reacts with a compound called alliin to form a volatile molecule called allicin, which lends pesto, toum, and hummus that characteristic allium bite. There are a variety of ways to temper garlic's flavor, and if you're looking to tap into its natural sweetness, slowly cooking the cloves whole is the way to go.
Before bundling them in foil, do make sure to coat the garlic heads with some kind of fatextra-virgin olive oil is always a good bet. Fat helps with browning, and without it, you'll just be steaming garlic in foil. In side-by-side tests, I found that garlic cloves roasted without any fat were pallid, flat-tasting, and, even though they softened during cooking, they ended up with a fibrous texture, not the jammy one we're after.
Make sure your foil packet is sealed tight. Roasting garlic follows the same principles of roasting beets. Seal them up in foil, and let the moisture content create a miniature steam oven environment. The term roasted is actually a bit of a misnomer here, seeing as we really need steam to do a lot of the heavy lifting, rather than the dry heat that is required to produce a burnished crust on a Sunday roast. If you just threw a naked head of garlic or a few beets in a hot oven, you'd be rewarded with dried out, leathery, burnt-vegetable jerky.
can you roast garlic in the microwave?
Preheat oven to 400. Cut off pointed end of garlic; place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Fold foil to seal. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until soft; let cool. Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves into a bowl.
Gently squeeze garlic heads from root ends to remove roasted garlic cloves from papery skins; place in SmallBatter Bowl. Chop tomatoes using Food Chopper; transfer to Batter Bowl using Classic Scraper. Add cream cheese, oregano and salt; ondo nahastu. Chill until ready to serve.
Thsi recipe is a smear of thick, roasted garlic paste. It's sweet & loaded w/ garlic flavor w/out being at all bitter or harsh. It does need a sprinkle of sea salt to help bind the flavors but otherwise it's perfect. I keep roasted garlic in my fridge so I just used about 15 cloves, pushed them through the garlic press & then halved the rest of the recipe for slices of toast since it was just hubby & I.
