Yield: 6 - 8 servings

Crockpot Roasted Garlic

Ingredients

  • 3 - 4 (or as desired) garlic bulbs
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil (per garlic bulb)
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • Pepper, fresh ground (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cut a 1/4 to 1/2 inch slice from the top of the garlic bulbs. Cut off enough so the cloves are exposed.
  2. Carefully peel off the outer paper-like skin from the garlic bulbs. Leave enough to hold the cloves together.
  3. Place the bulbs in a glass bowl or small wide mouth jar. Use more than one bowl or jar as needed to fit the number of bulbs. Arrange the bulbs so they will stay upright.
  4. Drizzle 1 - 2 teaspoons of olive oil over each bulb.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover the bowl with foil.
  7. Place the glass bowl on a trivet like a metal jar lid or canning ring so the glass is not touching the bottom of the crockpot.
  8. Cook on high for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until the garlic is tender when pierced with a fork or toothpick.
  9. Squeeze the garlic out of the cloves. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

Spread the creamy roasted garlic on toast, crackers or bread. Stir it into soups, pasta or mashed potatoes. You can also dice the roasted cloves and sprinkle over pasta, pizza, vegetables or beans.

Instead of roasting the garlic in a glass dish you can wrap each bulb tightly in foil.
