Preparation

Step 1

In this world of “butter” sprays and powders, it’s hard to believe that anything could make good ol’ fashioned creamy butter better.  I am here to tell you—roasted garlic can make it better.  It won’t sit atop your pancakes, but it will be perfect just about anywhere else you could think to lump it.  Toss into a pound of hot pasta, on either side of a simple grilled cheese, or on a hunk of crusty bread.

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Slice the top off the heads of your garlic. Make sure you don’t completely slice it in half lengthwise; just cut them enough to expose each of the cloves.

3. Place your heads of garlic on a large square of tin foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold the tin foil up so the all of the garlic is covered and there is no way for the olive oil to be released. Place in your preheated oven.

6. Add your 2 sticks of butter to a food processor. Next, holding your cooled roasted garlic, squeeze the cloves from the bulb. Blend together until evenly combined.

This recipe is just great to have to learn how to make roasted garlic. Simply serve roasted garlic — all by itself — with a butter knife on crusty bread (to people you know and love who won’t mind smelling like garlic together).
