Roasted Garlic Oil

[heart_this] · May 10, 2008 · 35 Comments

Roasted Garlic Oil: Jarred

I have seen a few herb or flavoured oils on the blogsphere that have sounded pretty interesting. I recently came across a recipe that called for some roasted garlic oil and I though that it was time that I give it a try. It turned out to be pretty easy to make. It was the same as making roasted garlic except that you use a lot more oil to absorb all of the flavour. You can also add hints of other flavours like thyme and peppercorn by adding them to the oil while it roasts. The roasting garlic smelled really good and the oil retained that aroma. The oil had a really amazing roasted garlic flavour. It was well worth the effort to make. The best part might be all of the roasted garlic that is left over that you can use for other things. 🙂

    Roasted Garlic is so good in mashed potatoes. I always dump a couple of heads in my potatoes…oh so good! Your garlic turned out fabulous; I could almost smell it!

    oh that looks amazing. i really love flavoured oils. i got a tip from a cooking show once – after cooking crab, keep the shells. place them in a deep baking dish, drizzle loads of olive oil over and place in an oven for a little bit. you’ll get crab flavoured oil! amazing.

    Great idea. Any special care for the oil into the jar or how long it will last, etc?

    Great WHB entry Kevin! I love dual use recipes like this – the oil that can add flavors to many dishes and the wonderful roast garlic. I wish I had some right now to spread on the toast I’m having for breakfast.
