Baked Garlic

Garlic may be known for being a little bit stinky, but baked it is absolutely delicious and as long as you feed it to all of your guests no-one will complain about the smell! Once baked the garlic becomes creamy and sweet making an ideal spread to accompany cheese.

To make your own baked garlic, you will need:

Instructions

  1. Cut the tops and bottoms off the garlic heads with a sharp knife, keeping the head intact, then snip the tops of the cloves so you can see the garlic inside.
  2. In a large ovenproof dish use foil to make a 'nest' large enough to hold all of your garlic. If you are doing a lot of garlic you could put them into several nests.
  3. Add a few tablespoons of water to the nest then add the garlic heads.
  4. Pour over a tablespoon of olive oil per garlic, season with salt and tightly wrap up the top of the foil nest to seal in the garlic.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes at 200C, open the nest and baste the garlic in the juices, then cover and bake for another 30 minutes.
  6. Enjoy!
