When I was brainstorming ideas for this video, lots of garlicky things came to mind. Lots of garlicky things that I’ve made and wanted to make. And then I realized I had never experimented with the most garlicky thing of all: roasted garlic.
I used a Pioneer Woman How To as my guide, making adjustments since most of my belongings are packed in giant plastic bins at the moment (I move to a new place on Friday!!). Pie plates… packed. Insert dutch oven. Black pepper… where’d you go? Insert crushed red pepper.
I coated the pan and garlic with olive oil, sprinkled the trimmed garlic heads with salt and crushed red pepper, and roasted in a 375 degree oven for about an hour. And what came out was a little bit of crack magic. I polished off an entire head with crostini before heading to meet Molly, Anna, and Lauren. And then I helped myself to a little more once girls’ night was in full effect.

Yum can’t wait to try out this recipe!!
Yum! I’ve always wanted to make roasted garlic. Maybe this weekend!
I was just thinking the other day about the fact that roasted garlic is one of the things I haven’t made yet either. Hopefully I’ll get on it soon!
I wonder why roasting garlic is so easy to put off?
