How to Roast Garlic in the Oven (Whole Head)
Roasting garlic in the oven softens the cloves' typical pungent flavor into mellow, caramelized, slightly nutty deliciousness. Add roasted garlic to sauces, dips, soups, or simply spread it on a slice of crusty bread and enjoy.

Equipment (Includes Affiliate Links)
- Tin Foil
Ingredients
- 2 heads fresh garlic
- 1 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 pinches salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Cut off the top quarter of each head of garlic. Place the two heads of garlic in a piece of tin foil with the side you cut facing upward.2 heads fresh garlic, 1 tsp avocado oil, 2 pinches salt
- Drizzle about ½ tsp of avocado oil (or olive oil) over the top of each head of garlic, or enough to coat the exposed garlic cloves. Then, sprinkle a pinch of salt on each. Seal the tin foil around the garlic to create a small pouch.
- Roast the garlic for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 400°F, or until the cloves are golden and soft. If you'd like, you can open the foil packet near the end of roasting to allow the garlic to caramelize a bit more (rather than just steam inside the foil).
- Let the garlic cool a bit, then squeeze the cloves out of the head of garlic and add to any recipe for soup, sauce, garlic bread, etc. Alternatively, squeeze the cloves out of the garlic head and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
