How to roast garlic

There are many ways to roast garlic. Roast garlic in various ways: in the crockpot, Instant Pot, microwave oven, on the stovetop, in the range, and in the air fryer. You’ll enjoy removing the skins of roasted garlic if you’re like many youths. I have the perfect recipe for you if you like to buy peeled cloves.

The best and most traditional way to roast garlic is to burn whole heads of garlic, unpeeled, in the oven. Here’s how it is done:

Roast garlic in the oven

1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
2. Cut the outer, loose layers of papery garlic skins, leaving the head intact.
3. Trim 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch from the tops of each chair, leaving the head intact. Wrap the head in foil large enough to wrap around.
4. Rub olive oils all over the cut surfaces. Wrap the foil around the garlic.
5. Spread the minced garlic on a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes to one and a half hours, depending on how caramelized it needs to be. The more it roasts will become browner, sweeter, and caramelized.
6. Take out of the oven, let cool, and then remove the cloves from the bottom.

Confit of oven-roasted garlic

Garlic confit can be made the same way as roasted garlic. However, you won’t have to peel the garlic cloves from their skins. The whole garlic cloves are roasted in oil until they become a soft, spreadable, golden delight.

Make garlic confit

1. Heat the oven to 200°F.
2. Put peeled garlic cloves into an oven-proof dish and cover it with olive oil.
3. Bake the cloves for at least 3 hours or until they are softened and spreadable.
4. Take the garlic out of the oil, and then enjoy.

Extra cloves can be kept in the refrigerator, covered with oil, and in an airtight container.

Roasted garlic in an air fryer

Garlic should be prepared. Drizzle oil on the cloves, then wrap them in foil. Finally, air fries the garlic at 400F for 18-20 min. Let them cool, then remove the cloves.

Slow cooker roasted garlic

1. Prepare the garlic. Drizzle with oil and wrap in foil. Then, place the insert into the crockpot.
2. Cover with aluminum foil and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the garlic becomes soft and caramelized.
3. Allow to cool, then squeeze out the cloves and enjoy!

Instant Pot roasted garlic

1. Prepare the garlic and drizzle oil over it before placing it on the trivet of the Instant pot insert.
2. Pour 1 Cup of water into a saucepan and heat on high pressure for 10 min.
3. Allow natural to release for 10 minutes, then let go.
4. Allow to cool down slightly, then squeeze the cloves out and enjoy.

Microwave roasted garlic

Technically, you aren’t roasting garlic, but steaming it is. But who cares? Microwave garlic tastes just as good as slow roasting it in the oven. It takes only a fraction of the time.

1. Prepare the garlic. Place in a microwave-safe dish and drizzle olive oil.
2. Add 2 Tbsp water to the plate and cover it with a microwave-safe lid.
3. Microwave at half power for 8-9 minutes until garlic becomes soft and squishable.
