Best Toaster Oven Roasted Garlic Cloves Recipes

HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F (204C).
• Slice the very top of the head of garlic off and drizzle with oil and a little salt. Wrap loosely in foil and set directly on the oven rack.
• Roast 45 minutes - 1 hour or until fragrant, golden brown on top, and tender when squeezed. Remove from oven, unwrap, and let cool 10 minutes.
• To extract roasted garlic cloves, squeeze from the bottom of the clove up and the soft clove should come right out. Use immediately in sauces, dressings, as a spread, and more!
• To store, transfer cooled cloves to a small glass jar or Tupperware container and top with olive oil to cover. Cover with a secure lid and store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Scoop out and use as needed.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F (204C).
• Take the head of garlic and separate into cloves but leave the skin on - discard any remaining skins that shed. Place cloves on a baking sheet.
• Drizzle cloves with a little oil and toss to coat. Then bake for 15-25 minutes, or until slightly golden brown and fragrant - be careful not to burn.
• Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Then peel off skin and use immediately in sauces, dressings, as a spread, and more! To store, transfer cooled cloves to a small glass jar or Tupperware container and top with olive oil to cover. Cover with a secure lid and store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. Scoop out and use as needed.

ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (a toaster oven with a bake setting works as well). Remove layers of extra skin from the outsides of the garlic, leaving enough to hold the cloves together.
• With a sharp knife, trim off ¼ to ½-inch from the top of the garlic head so that you expose the tops of the cloves inside of it (you may need to trim the outer ones separately from the top-most ones so that all tips are exposed with minimal waste). You can save the trimmed tips for raw garlic later on, or discard them.
• Tear off squares of aluminum foil or parchment large enough to create a packet around each head of garlic.
• Place each head in the center of a square so that the trimmed cloves are facing upwards. Drizzle the exposed cloves with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil per head, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Close the foil or parchment around the garlic to cover it completely (with parchment, fold or twist it up and around the garlic, then secure with kitchen string if needed).
• Stand the garlic packets cloves-side up in a small baking dish (if your garlic won't stand on its own, place it in a ramekin to hold it, then set the ramekin on the baking dish). Alternatively, you can use a muffin tin, standing each packet up inside one of the wells.
• Roast the garlic at 400 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cloves are light golden brown and give easily when pressed (be very careful when opening the packet to check). If using a toaster oven, rotate the pan 180 degrees F halfway through.
• Remove the garlic from the hot oven and let rest. As soon as it is cool enough to safely handle, use a small knife to trim the skin a little around each clove. With a tiny fork or your fingers, pull or squeeze the garlic out of the skins. Use immediately (spread roasted garlic on toast, mix with Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, mix into plain Greek yogurt to top an Air Fryer Baked Potato, add it to Chicken Pesto Pasta, add it to Grilled Naan Pizza with Strawberry Chicken and Avocado-see blog post above for even more ideas), or store for later use.

TOASTER OVEN ROASTED GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• It's very important that you don't use the rack that comes with the toast oven, but rather the baking/broiling pan. Since the packets have oil, you don't want that accidentally spilling in your oven or it might start a fire.
• Place garlic cloves in the middle of aluminum foil, making sure they are in a single layer.
• Drizzle with olive oil and salt.
• Fold up making sure all sides are secure and tight. It should be a flat packet.
• Place on toaster ovens baking/broiling pan on lower or middle rack.
• Set temp at 350 degrees and timer for 30 minutes.
• After timer goes off, let sit in oven for 10 minutes.
