I keep coming across recipes online for roasting garlic in the oven. It sounds pretty incredible, and I thought adding a little smokiness to it by roasting it with charcoal or even a little hardwood might take the flavors up a notch.
I looked quickly on YouTube for anyone doing a similar method on a charcoal grill, but I didn’t really come up with anything. I suppose I could just use the same method most of the oven recipes call for, but in the kettle instead. However, they all basically say the same thing: to chop of the top off a garlic head, drizzle in olive oil, then wrap completely in foil before putting in the oven. I want to get a little smoke in there, so I’d prefer to skip the foil, but I’m not sure how that’d affect the cook.
Any of you guys roast or smoke your own garlic? If so, what’s your method, and what’re your favorite uses/recipes for it afterwards?
I did find this method, which is probably what I’ll start with unless I hear from you guys first:
