Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
Make this Roasted Garlic Olive Oil in 5 minutes! It’s delicious used to make garlic bread, drizzled over veggies for roasting, in salad dressing, rubbed on meat before roasting or grilling…or wherever you use olive oil and want a little garlic kick!
Hey, did you know that April 19 is National Garlic Day? Who knew…well now we do. It’s kind of fascinating really…I mean who makes these food days official anyway?
Ah well, no matter…I do love garlic though. You? I mean the way it smells when it’s being cooked…it’s truly one of my most favourite smells. So for todays recipe I made Roasted Garlic Olive Oil, and let me tell you about this recipe…it makes my mouth water. The whole house smelled like garlic heaven while is simmered in the oven. And it took me all of less than 5 minutes to prep and make, as the oven does all the hard work. This is the easiest recipe ever I swear.
How to Use Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
But what to do with it you ask? This oil can be used for garlic bread, drizzled over veggies for roasting, in a balsamic vinegar dressing, rubbed on meat before roasting or grilling…or wherever you use olive oil and want a little garlic kick. Because it’s a kick you’ll get…the oil is loaded with garlic flavour.
But I especially can’t wait to use this oil on roasted chicken! Whoa yum.
