Toaster Oven Roasted Garlic Cloves Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
• Place the garlic cloves in a bowl. Add the olive oil and mix to coat.
• Spread the garlic cloves on the prepared baking sheet, in a single layer. Season them with the salt.
• Bake until golden brown and fork-tender, stirring halfway through cooking. Depending on your oven, the total baking time should be between 20-30 minutes.

TOASTER OVEN ROASTED GARLIC CLOVES

Steps:

• It's very important that you don't use the rack that comes with the toast oven, but rather the baking/broiling pan. Since the packets have oil, you don't want that accidentally spilling in your oven or it might start a fire.
• Place garlic cloves in the middle of aluminum foil, making sure they are in a single layer.
• Drizzle with olive oil and salt.
• Fold up making sure all sides are secure and tight. It should be a flat packet.
• Place on toaster ovens baking/broiling pan on lower or middle rack.
• Set temp at 350 degrees and timer for 30 minutes.
• After timer goes off, let sit in oven for 10 minutes.

ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (a toaster oven with a bake setting works as well). Remove layers of extra skin from the outsides of the garlic, leaving enough to hold the cloves together.
• With a sharp knife, trim off ¼ to ½-inch from the top of the garlic head so that you expose the tops of the cloves inside of it (you may need to trim the outer ones separately from the top-most ones so that all tips are exposed with minimal waste). You can save the trimmed tips for raw garlic later on, or discard them.
• Tear off squares of aluminum foil or parchment large enough to create a packet around each head of garlic.
• Place each head in the center of a square so that the trimmed cloves are facing upwards. Drizzle the exposed cloves with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil per head, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Close the foil or parchment around the garlic to cover it completely (with parchment, fold or twist it up and around the garlic, then secure with kitchen string if needed).
• Stand the garlic packets cloves-side up in a small baking dish (if your garlic won't stand on its own, place it in a ramekin to hold it, then set the ramekin on the baking dish). Alternatively, you can use a muffin tin, standing each packet up inside one of the wells.
• Roast the garlic at 400 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cloves are light golden brown and give easily when pressed (be very careful when opening the packet to check). If using a toaster oven, rotate the pan 180 degrees F halfway through.
• Remove the garlic from the hot oven and let rest. As soon as it is cool enough to safely handle, use a small knife to trim the skin a little around each clove. With a tiny fork or your fingers, pull or squeeze the garlic out of the skins. Use immediately (spread roasted garlic on toast, mix with Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, mix into plain Greek yogurt to top an Air Fryer Baked Potato, add it to Chicken Pesto Pasta, add it to Grilled Naan Pizza with Strawberry Chicken and Avocado-see blog post above for even more ideas), or store for later use.
