Roasted Garlic With Roquefort Recipes

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Cut the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). Place garlic bulb in a ramekin, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
• Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and into a small dish. Mash with a fork and use as desired.

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the top off the garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the garlic cloves. Put on a small square of foil, and rub with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scrunch up the foil to seal in the bulb.
• Roast for 25-30 mins until soft when pressed, and the papery casing is light golden. Leave to cool for a few minutes before squeezing the soft roasted garlic out of their shells. Alternatively, take off all the papery casing and remove the cloves individually.
