Roasted Garlic In The Microwave
Roasting a head of garlic doesn’t get any better or any easier than roasted garlic in the microwave. So simple that my 7 year old makes it for me!
Servings: 24
Calories: 6kcal
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl add water until enough to cover the bottoms of some garlic bulbs then slice the tops off the garlic bulbs.
- Next drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the tops of them. Then season with salt and pepper.
- Place the garlic into the bowl, carefully making sure the bottom is submerged with water and that they don’t fall over.
- Place the bowl carefully into the microwave making sure you don’t spill the water, or the garlic subsides.
- Microwave for 8 minutes before checking to make sure the garlic cloves are soft.
- Put the bowl to one side and allow the garlic to cool before squeezing the garlic cloves from the bulb.
- Store in a plastic container once cool.
Notes
Optional – I recommend adding salt and pepper to the garlic for extra flavour, but this is optional. You can also add oregano.
Quantity – You can do as few or as many garlic bulbs that will fit in your bowl without being overcrowded. We opted for 3 that made a LOT.
Meals. I also found that this made enough garlic cloves to feed us for 24 meals. Though it depends how much garlic you like in your recipes.
