- Trim off end (not root end) of head of garlic to barely expose garlic flesh. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place cut side down in a small baking dish. Add fresh rosemary, if desired. Cover tightly with foil and bake in preheated 375 oven for 45 minutes.
Notes
Nutrition information is based on one recipe making 1 cup dressing and a serving size equal to 2 tablespoons.
Water: ¼ cup gives a pourable, but very thick consistency. For a thinner dressing, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well before adding more.
Garlic: squeeze the soft pulp from an entire roasted head of garlic out. If you're using roasted cloves from garlic confit, 10-12 cloves, depending on size, is the right amount.
Storage: Creamy garlic dressing stored in airtight container in the fridge for 10 days. Store in the freezer to up to 3 months. You can pour dressing to ½ cup silicone molds and then transfer to freezer safe zip top bags.
