Ingredients
- 15 whole garlic bulbs
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- nonstick cooking spray
Directions
- Cut the top (the pointed part) off each garlic bulb and pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil on each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange garlic on a baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour until garlic is soft and turning golden brown.
- Carefully unwrap the foil and squeeze the garlic cloves from the skin. Mash the garlic cloves with a fork to form a smooth paste. Divide and freeze in ice cube trays sprayed with cooking spray. Once frozen, transfer garlic to a freezer bag.
- Frozen roasted garlic can be added to a dish frozen, or defrosted first in the refrigerator.
