Roasting garlic is not hard. You cut off the top, drizzle some olive oil on the exposed cloves, and wrap it all up in foil. Easy enough—but roasting it upside down in a ramekin is even easier.
For one, you don’t have to worry about stocking foil or cloves sticking to the foil, which always happens with at least one of mine (usually the biggest, most tantalizing one, because we live in a taunting, cruel world).
Roasting your garlic in a ramekin is, dare I say it, easier than roasting it in foil, because you don’t have to wrap anything. Slice about half an inch off the top of the bulb like you usually would, drizzle a little olive oil in a ramekin, and set the garlic into the oil, cut side down. Roast for the usual amount of time (40 minutes to an hour), then flip the bulb over to reveal beautifully roasted garlic unstuck to any foil. Even better, the oil you used to roast the garlic is now infused with garlicky goodness. Drizzle it on vegetables, dip some bread in it, maybe take a swig.

Sounds good
Do some shallots :)
I use the foil and also add salt and pepper after the oil. I like to do several heads at once and then when it cools a bit, squeeze it into a small container. Can be used as a spread or a favorite is to add it to mashed potatoes. I am making a 5 qt. pot of garlic soup right now. Mmmmm.
True story - my grandfather came to America when he was 12 from eastern Europe. Garlic was a staple. He joined up in the army for WWI . Everyone in his company came down with the flu from that pandemic and most died. Everyone but him, they had a whole team of doctors trying to figure out why he did not get it. When they asked him he said -” because I eat garlic”.
Even more difficult to stand on your head in a ramekin.
Oh, I don’t know, maybe the ramekin will help with stability.................
I asked myself that same question!
Turns out I had them in my kitchen all along. I just never called them that. Always referred to them as "little bowls" and usually I park my bacon grease in one of those after frying up a pound of bacon.
If he's garlicky enough, no one will want to get close enough to infect him!
A friend of my mom’s thought she was pulling a prank on her Italian husband when she was making Christmas candy. She dipped raw garlic in chocolate. He just loved them. She had to make it regularly after that.
last time I roasted garlic I used the air fryer and it worked great!
I started at 390 for a few minutes, went down to 350 and noticed it was still browning too quickly, so I dropped it to 325 and let it got for about 5 minutes.
I also roasted Jalapenos at the same time.
Not sure, haven’t been there since summer. They were putting in new self-serve bar units, but the old ones had sneeze guards.
i might have to try that as a way to eat garlic for colds,flu and covid. Everything tastes better with chocolate
I remember in the ‘60’s, my mom rubbing raw garlic on us when we had the mumps. I can’t recall if it worked!
I will have to register a complaint as it is late.
My mom used to make pasta topping of crushed diced raw garlic, tomatoes, and olive oil. Delicious and healthy.
A friend who flies for American Airlines was sharing one of his favorite foods he looks forward to when overseas. In England he likes the bread with olives baked in. The brits don’t have many examples of fine food, and he offered that the bread with large olives baked in is one of their better offerings. Sounds better than fish and chips.
Our Harris Teeters had that as well until covid.
ping
Did she turn the thermostat up to 350 and say "I'll be back in 50 minutes to an hour to check on you"?
Same here, My head hurts after about 20 minutes or so...🤪
