Crock-Pot Roasted Garlic Recipe
Learn how to roast garlic in your slow cooker with this easy 2-ingredient recipe. All you need is whole heads of garlic and a little olive oil!
Ingredients
- 5 Bulbs Garlic
- 5 Teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- I use my 4 quart slow cooker for this, only because I just decided to purchase 5 bulbs for my endeavor.
- I could have done more, but ultimately you don't want to keep the garlic in the refrigerator for too long once you have made these.
- Slice the tops off of the bulbs, not too deep, but just enough to expose the garlic cloves.
- In your crock-pot, you have two choices, you can either place the garlic bulbs face down, so the cloves are submerged in the extra virgin olive oil, or you can place them face down, but every so often you will need to baste them with the olive oil.
- I chose to place my face down in the olive oil.
- Pour in enough olive oil to cover the bulbs about half way up.
- Do not submerge them.
- Set the crock-pot to medium-low until the oil just starts to simmer, then turn it down to low.
- Let cook for about 5 hours.

You can also use already peeled garlic cloves(so much easier). Also you can remove the roasted cloves and place them in an ice cube trays filling up the cubes. You then freeze it and knock them out and place in freezer bag. This way you can have roasted garlic for recipes on hand ready to go.
Who has a medium-low setting on their crock pot? I know I don’t, and I have several different brands.
There are several slow cookers that have a medium and a low setting as well as a high setting. You can just use the low setting if yours doesn’t adjust that much.
