Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 whole Garlic bulbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel away the papery outer layers of the garlic bulbs, leaving the cloves intact and still attached to the root.
Use a sharp knife to cut off the top quarter inch of each garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the cloves.
Place the garlic bulbs in a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around all of them. Slightly crimp the sides to create a shallow bowl effect.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the bulbs, ensuring each clove is coated. Sprinkle lightly with salt to enhance flavor.
Pour the water into the bottom of your crock pot to create a moist cooking environment.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic in the crock pot and loosely fold the foil over the top, leaving a little room for ventilation.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours (240 minutes) or until the garlic cloves are golden, soft, and caramelized.
Allow the roasted garlic to cool. Squeeze out the softened cloves from the bulbs and use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
