Roast Garlic, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Roast Garlic

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Whole Heads of Garlic

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat toaster oven to 350°

Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb, leaving the skins on the individual cloves of garlic. Be careful not to break the cloves from the bulb. With a small sharp knife, cut just the tops of cloves off, exposing the individual cloves inside. If you miss some of the smaller cloves, or the lower ones on the outside edge, don’t worry, they’ll still roast up fine.

Place the bulbs, cut side up, into individual ramekins. If you’re going to do multiple bulbs a muffin pan works well. Drizzle the olive oil over the bulbs, making certain to get each exposed clove. Place in the hot oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cloves are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed.

Allow the garlic to cool and remove the individual cloves from the bulb. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins or use a small knife to cut the skin slightly. Place the cloves in a covered, glass container and pour any remaining oil over them. Enjoy the garlic warm, can be used in a favorite savory recipe, mash to create an amazing spread or aioli, create a flavorful topping for baked potatoes or pasta.

¼ Cup Shortening

1 17-Oz Bag Sweetened Coconut Flakes

1 Tsp Vanilla

 

2 12-Oz Bags Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Repeat with the remaining pieces and chocolate. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow them to harden. Can be served at room temperature or well chilled. These should be stored in in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
