Roasting garlic, typically done at around 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, transforms the cloves into a nutty, creamy paste. To test for readiness, the bulbs should feel soft when touched, and they should also exhibit a light-brown color. Besides the touch test, a paring knife can help ensure that the cloves are soft enough. Once done, roasted garlic can be used in various recipes, such as toppings for pizza, enhancements for garlic bread, or flavoring for dips and butters.
Roasting garlic requires patience but is worthwhile, resulting in a flavorful, nutty ingredient that elevates various dishes when prepared correctly.
To determine roasted garlic's readiness, touch test is effective; bulbs must feel soft and be a light-brown color, indicating they are ready to use.
Once roasted, garlic can be used in a multitude of ways—such as a pizza topping, in garlic bread, and to enhance dips or compound butters.
