- 5 Minute
Roasted Garlic
1 or more Head of Garlic
Remove loose paper from outside.
Slice top of head straight across so
you expose the cloves, slicing into the
cloves a little.
Slice the bottom across so it can stand
on a plate freely.
Place on small microwaveable
plate.

- Traditional
Roasted Garlic
Prepare head as in other
recipe.
Placing on oven proof plate or pan,
cover with oven proof cup
or wraping gently in foil.
(Add other vegetables if desired, cut
into same size pieces, and toss in
loose garlic cloves., drizzle with oil,
s & p, herbs...)
Roast in oven, 375 degrees, around 30
minutes, longer if other vegetables are
used.
|
- Drizzle head
with olive oil. (A tablespoon or two
per head.)
Sprinkle with a little salt and
pepper,
and herbs of choice: I like rosemary
and thyme.
Cover with upside down Microwaveable
cup. (Ceramic coffee cups work
great)
Set Microwave on Auto DEFROST, for
about 4-5 minutes. Microwaves are all
different so check cloves, and
"defrost" until cloves are soft like
butter.
Will be HOT!

Serve Traditional
Roasted Garlic Heads as is, 1 per plate
per person
with french bread or toast.
Small spoons work well for
scooping out and spreading on bread.
The 5 minute heads are best used in
something else or in a culinary
emergency...

TIPS
You can buy a "garlic roaster", cup and
saucer, which is an
unglazed porous cup and saucer, but I find cups on
hand work just as well.
