How to Make Roasted Garlic And Pepper Paste
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the outer skin from 10 heads of garlic, leaving the cloves intact.
- Trim approximately 3/4 inch from the top of each garlic head.
- Place the garlic heads in an oven-safe dish.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil over the exposed garlic cloves.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the garlic.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the garlic is very soft and caramelized.
- Let the garlic cool slightly.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a bowl. Add any remaining oil from the baking dish.
- Add 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 cup), to the bowl.
- Mash the garlic and red pepper together using a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the paste to a clean, airtight jar. Press down to minimize air pockets.
- Top with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent discoloration.
- Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate.
