How to Make Roasted Garlic Oil

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If using whole garlic bulbs, cut off the top to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.
Roast the garlic for 45-50 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
While the garlic roasts, heat the remaining olive oil (1 cup) in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins into the warm olive oil.
Remove from heat and let the garlic infuse in the oil for at least 15 minutes (longer is better for stronger flavor).
Strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the garlic solids (save the roasted garlic for other recipes!).
Store the roasted garlic oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
