What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Table Food: Garlic Bulbs Roasted! Do you like the smell of garlic? Do you find it sweet, alluring, pleasant, pungent, or exciting? If garlic is your friend, get ready for a road trip you will long remember. Roasted garlic cloves could make you feel extra special. Especially slathered across a slice of crusty artisan bread. When garlic bulbs are slow-roasted in the oven, they become soft, caramelized, and almost sweet. The tantalizing aroma will practically drive you crazy. As you wait with anticipation, don’t be surprised if you find your mouth watering just a bit. Be patient. Once done, the tender golden cloves collapse and spread like butter. It is definitely worth the time spent in expectation.
GARLIC BULBS ROASTED
Ingredients:
3 garlic bulbs
3 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/8 teaspoon rosemary leaves
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Peel away outside loose layers. Slice 1/4 off the top of each garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Place cut side up on a sheet of foil. Drizzle olive oil over each. Season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and rosemary leaves. Fold foil overtop the garlic, and place in an ovenproof dish. Roast for 45 minutes. Cloves will begin to soften and turn golden in color. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Gently squeeze the cloves to push them out or use a pointed butter knife. Spread mashed garlic on crusty artisan breads and crackers.
I roast garlic often. Thanks for the tip about rosemary.

I understand the value of garlic I wrote a post Garlic, the greatest gift of nature. Egyptians ate garlic daily and I do the same; check at the clinic show no calcification at all, and my arteries clean. It is an excellent idea to promote garlic but it is only active when eaten raw. Perhaps, a dish/salad with raw garlic?
