Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
- To save time, you can buy garlic cloves that have already been peeled.
- If you are peeling yourself, rub several cloves together between your palms, then place on a cutting board. Give the clove a gentle tap with either the back of a knife or a garlic press. The paper should peel off with ease. Or you can place cloves of garlic in a large jar and shake vigorously shake to help remove the paper from the cloves.
- Serve the extremely delicious garlic infused olive oil with your favorite crusty bread, using the garlic like butter on the bread.
- It’s also great in dips, salad dressings or used as a sandwich spread. You can also add the garlic to sauces that call for roasted garlic.
- The goal here is to let the garlic roast at a low temperature so that it does not become overcooked. Check at 45 minutes for doneness. Pierce a clove with a knife to see how soft it is and how much more cooking time is needed.
