Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 bulbs garlic
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs so that the inside tops of the shelled cloves are exposed.
- Pour the olive oil into the slow cooker. Place sliced garlic bulbs sliced side down into the oil. Add more oil if needed so that the bulbs are half submerged.
- Set to HIGH for 2 hours. Use tongs to remove the cooked garlic to a cutting board. Let cool, then squeeze out of shells. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
Storing: Slow cooker garlic cloves should be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
Tip 1: Want to make it even easier? Buy peeled garlic cloves and use them instead of bulbs. Individual garlic cloves make take less time to cook, so keep a close eye on them. When they begin to turn golden brown they are done.
Tip 2: Use as many garlic bulbs as you can fit in your slow cooker to roast garlic in bulk.
