Helpful Hints

What It Tastes Like

Roasting garlic gives it a milder garlic flavor that is slightly sweet and oh so delicious. I could eat roasted garlic plain. Every time I make it, my entire kitchen smells of the most delicious garlicky aroma. The smell and the taste are both heavenly.

How to Roast Garlic

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then cut off the top of a head of garlic to expose each individual clove. Coat the garlic with olive oil and wrap in a layer of foil. Place the wrapped head of garlic directly on the oven rack for 30-35 minutes. The garlic will become golden brown and very tender.

Let it cool completely. Then simply squeeze the head of garlic upside down and the soft cloves will pop right out.

Blending Tools to Make This Recipe

This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of vinaigrette. A half a cup is a relatively small amount of liquid to blend. So, I recommend using a mini food processor, an immersion blender or a small/personal blender when making this recipe. Personally, I prefer to use an immersion blender for this recipe because it blends a small amount of liquid very easily with no mess. Best of all it only takes me 20 seconds to clean.
