Intense Roasted Garlic
Ingredients
- 6 bulbs garlic
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Separate the garlic bulbs into cloves. With the side of a large knife, smash the cloves gently in order to make them easier to peel and to release some of the juices.
- Peel the cloves and place into your slow cooker (1.5 litre) and splash with olive oil to coat. Stir the olive oil through to ensure all cloves are coated.
- Cook on high for 1 hour, stir, then turn to low for 1 hour.
- With a potato masher, mash the cloves down until they are well mixed with no large pieces.
- The flavour is incredibly intense and far less will be needed than if you were to use standard minced garlic, and has a much sweeter flavour.
- Freeze in portion sizes in an ice cube tray or small plastic containers for ease of use.
- This recipe can be adapted to do smaller or larger amounts as preferred, with the only adjustment being the volume of olive oil used.

What a magnificent idea. I love garlic and use it prodigiously in most recipes. I cant wait to do this and try it in recipes…..
Very happy with the outcome, with 8 very full ice cubes worth from 5 bulbs. I used a garlic crusher and found this made the prep easier – no need to peel each clove. Cant wait to try this in a recipe.
Great outcome. 8 full ice cubes from 5 bulbs. I made the prep easier by using a garlic mincer, which also really bought out the juices. I think the neighbors can smell it every time I open my shed freezer. Cant wait to use the in some soups and other meal recipes.
