Recipe: Roasted garlic cloves

(Copyright © 2012 David Weinehall)

Type: Condiment

Ingredients:
3-4 garlics
Olive or avocado oil

Oven: 200°C

Preparations:
Break off cloves from the stem, but do not peel further. Brush cloves with olive or avocado oil. Place on cookie sheet and roast in oven until golden brown (roughly 15 minutes); flipping them over halfway through.

Let cool enough so they can be touched without burning yourself, then peel the garlic. If the garlic isn't to be consumed at once, put the garlic in a glass jar and pour enough oil in the jar to barely cover the garlic, and refrigerate.

Note: If you choose to preserve the garlic in oil you can later use the oil when cooking, to add a nice nuance of garlic to your food.
