This low calorie Oven Roasted Garlic Recipe is easy to make, and so low in calories you'll want to add it to everything!This roasted garlic bulb makes a wonderful roasted garlic spread, and at just 15 calories you can enjoy this cooked garlic without hurting your diet.We cut calories with the help of olive oil spray, and the use of an oven safe ramekin (if you don't have one, we will supply you with foil directions too!) We were able to cut 100's of calories without changing the flavor or consistency.
Cut the top 1/3 off the garlic head so the cloves are exposed.
Place the garlic head in an oven safe ramekin, spray with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover tightly with foil.
Roast in the oven for 1 hour, then carefully move the ramekin from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil and discard. And move the garlic clove to a cutting board.
Use a fork to gently pop out the garlic cloves onto the cutting board.
You can use the same fork to smash the cloves into a roasted garlic spread, or you can place the cooked garlic cloves into a glass container, cover and refrigerate for later. Will hold in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Directions Without Ramekin:
Cut off a 2-foot piece of foil and place the prepared garlic clove in the center.
Spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Wrap the foil around the garlic clove to make a loose but well sealed packet, and place on a baking sheet or casserole dish.
Roast for 1 hour and continue with directions above.
