How to make roasted garlic at home

Garlic is a good antibacterial and anti-cancer food, and people often add garlic as a seasoning when cooking. However, garlic will leave a special taste in the mouth after eating, which makes people feel very bad. In addition, the taste of raw garlic is relatively irritating, which is difficult for most people to accept. Therefore, many people will roast garlic before eating.

1: Peel off 1 to 2 layers of dry skin from the whole head of garlic, and cut off 1/3 of the top with a knife, leaving 2/3.

2: Boil water in a steamer over high heat, add chopped garlic, cover and steam for 20 minutes.

3: Place the steamed garlic on a baking tray lined with tin foil, sprinkle salt and crushed black pepper evenly on the cut surface, and drizzle with oil.

4: Preheat the oven to 200℃ for 10 minutes, put in the arranged garlic and bake for 10 minutes using upper and lower heat, then remove from the baking tray.

5: Use a small brush to brush the oil that has flowed down from the garlic onto the garlic, return it to the oven and continue baking for 10 minutes, until the surface of the garlic turns golden brown and golden bubbles begin to appear on the cross-section.

1: In recent years, with the continuous development of medical science, it has been discovered that the medicinal value of garlic is indeed extraordinary: "Natural enemy" of bacteria: Garlic contains volatile allicin, which is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic. If you put raw garlic in your mouth and chew it for 5 minutes, all the bacteria in your mouth will be killed. It is worth mentioning that in ancient times when science was not developed and war medicine was in short supply, garlic played a special role. For example, during World War II, the British government purchased dozens of tons of garlic as war supplies, and the Soviet Union called garlic the "penicillin" of the Soviet Union during the war.

It is a common way to eat appetizers in Western cuisine. Of course, you can also try to spread it on very "Chinese" steamed buns and baked cakes, which will definitely have a different flavor.
