How to easily roast garlic without oil.
Today I made smashed gold potatoes with roasted garlic. You can roast a whole or half head of garlic with the papers attached.
How to Roast Garlic
-
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees.
-
Place a whole or partial garlic head- with papers attached- in a mug of water. Weigh down the garlic with a spoon. Soak for minutes.
-
Remove from water. Wrap garlic head tightly in foil. Place on a pan to catch any drips.
-
Roast for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. It will smell heavenly.
Now comes the fun part!
-
Remove from oven. Unwrap foil. Keep the garlic head intact. With scissors, cut off the point of each garlic clove.
-
Let cool or protect your hand from heat. Squeeze out the roasted garlic.
"Ewww! It looks like worms!" my girl Claire protested. Her job was squeezing roasted garlic into mashed potatoes.

I regularly roast multiple heads of garlic, then smush up and store in the freezer in individual dollops. You can never have too much roasted garlic. I use olive oil to bake it with, I'm ok with the added oil.

Quickest way to skin a garlic clove:
Simply roll it between your hands, and the skin will come right off!

To peel off the paper, I smash each garlic clove with the flat of a knife.
Will try your technique.
I love garlic. Thanks for posting.
