How to Make Roasted Garlic With Herbs And Olive Oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roast a whole head of garlic for 30-40 minutes, until soft and caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  3. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a mortar and pestle (or food processor).
  4. Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley), 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. If using a mortar and pestle, grind the ingredients together until a smooth paste forms, using a circular motion. If using a food processor, pulse until desired consistency is reached. (Avoid over-processing).
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
