Roasted Garlic: The Secret to Next-Level Flavor

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) while you prep the garlic. Peel off the papery outer layers but keep the skin on the cloves so the head stays together. Slice about 1/4 inch off the top to expose the cloves. Place the head on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt if you want. Wrap it up tightly. Roast directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes. Check with a knife—if it slides in easily, it’s done. If not, give it another 10 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes, then squeeze out the soft, sweet cloves. Use it in pasta, spread on bread, or blend into dips. Seriously, roasted garlic is so much less harsh than raw and adds a mellow, rich flavor to everything. #RoastedGarlic #EasyCooking #FlavorBoost #Food #Cooking
