A delightful spread made from roasted garlic, perfect for enhancing the flavor of your dishes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal roasting of the garlic.
Cut the tops off the garlic heads to expose the cloves slightly.
Cutting the tops allows the oil and seasoning to penetrate the cloves for better flavor.
Place the garlic heads on a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Use enough foil to wrap the garlic completely, ensuring it retains moisture while roasting.
Wrap the garlic in the foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Sealing the foil tightly helps to steam the garlic, making it soft and spreadable.
Roast in the oven for 45 minutes or until the garlic is golden and soft.
Check the garlic after 40 minutes to ensure it doesn't overcook and become bitter.
Let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a food processor.
Squeezing the garlic while warm makes it easier to extract the soft cloves.
Blend the garlic until smooth, adding a bit more olive oil if needed for consistency.
Blend in short pulses to avoid over-processing and maintain a creamy texture.
Transfer the spread to a container and store in the refrigerator.
Use a clean, airtight container to keep the spread fresh for longer.
