Roasted garlic adds so much to a recipe! This tutorial shows you how to make roasted garlic in bulk (but you can definitely use it to make one single bulb.)
While this post is not sponsored per-say, I did receive products from Cookina to try out (by requesting them myself.) Though products were received, all opinions are my own and I would not recommend a product that I did not enjoy!
I had started blogging just before my daughter was born in 2011 and thought that I could keep it going. Raising a child and beginning a blog is NOT the right way to go about things, haha.
Instead, I took a hiatus and began seriously blogging in November 2014. Since then, it has been history and my business has flourished more than ever!
Today's roasted garlic recipe has been updated and I am using Cookina's Reusable Cooking Bag. I am in LOVE with this product!! I don't even know where to begin!
First off, it is reusable, making it ideal for pouch recipes (think on the grill or in the oven veggie/seafood creations.) But get this: the product also works in the MICROWAVE! How neat is that?! Now, I did not try it there, but you can be assured that I will!
Okay, another big pro to this product is how it reduces waste. Whenever I make individual roasted garlic bulbs, I wrap them in aluminum foil. It works great and creates a tender, decadent garlic bulb. But it also creates waste. And chances are you are not saving that foil to reuse.
With Cookina's Reusable Cooking Bag I was able to create 8 roasted garlic bulbs without digging into my parchment drawer. AND all I had to do in the end was wash it!
Ideally these bags are used for steaming, but I had no issue with this recipe. This specific product is not grill appropriate, but they do have the same pouches made for grills and smokers 🙂
That side, I am really happy to revisit this roasted garlic recipe. I use roasted garlic A LOT and have really been meaning to come back to this. Easy, vegan, and gluten-free, roasted garlic adds a lot to a dish.
And another great feature?! It freezes! So if you happen upon a lot of garlic at some point, use this recipe and freeze the leftovers 🙂
📖 Recipe

Ingredients
- 8 bulbs of garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Cayenne powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.

- Place into Cookina's Reusable Cooking Bags OR into a large baking dish (covered with aluminum foil afterwards.)
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until garlic is tender and a deep brown.

Notes
If only one head of garlic is needed, follow the same technique but wrap one head of garlic in cooking package or aluminum foil.
