Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bulbs Whole garlic bulbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the garlic bulbs by slicing off the top 1/4 inch of each bulb to expose the individual cloves.
Place each garlic bulb on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
Drizzle each bulb with about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the oil reaches all exposed cloves.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over each bulb for seasoning.
Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in the aluminum foil to create a sealed pouch.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic bulbs directly on the grill grates.
Close the grill lid and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the pouches halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Carefully remove the garlic pouches from the grill and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Unwrap the foil and gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Use immediately or store in an airtight container for later use.
