Best 12 Balsamic Roasted Garlic Recipes

SHEET PAN ROASTED GARLIC-BALSAMIC PORK TENDERLOIN WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil. Grease the foil with oil or cooking spray.
• Place the tenderloins in the center of the prepared pan and set aside.
• Combine the 1/2 cup oil with the vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade in a small saucepan. Stir the potatoes and carrots into the large bowl. Toss to combine.
• Drizzle 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade over the pork, coating all the sides. Set the remaining 1/3 cup marinade aside to serve as a sauce. Scatter the potatoes and carrots evenly around the pork. Roast in the oven until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the pork is resting, heat the remaining marinade in the small saucepan.
• Slice the pork and drizzle with the warm marinade.

ROASTED BALSAMIC GARLIC ASPARAGUS APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Trim the asparagus: rinse the asparagus, cut about an inch off the ends, then use a vegetable peeler to take the outer layer off another inch of the remaining fibrous ends (easiest is to lay the spear on a flat surface then use peeler to gently take off the layer - careful, or you'll remove too much).
• Place the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet, then spray with an olive oil mister or drizzle evenly with olive oil (or spray with pan spray).
• Season with the sea salt and the freshly ground pepper.
• Place in oven and roast for 8 minutes (don't overcook).
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over very low heat melt the butter and extra virgin olive oil.
• Add the sliced garlic and simmer (again, over very low heat) for 5 minutes - careful not to burn.
• Remove from heat and add the soy sauce and balsamic.
• When asparagus is done, remove from the oven and place in a container which has an airtight cover.
• Place the garlic from the balsamic mixture on the asparagus; whisk the balsamic mixture well (I use a pigtail whisk) and pour it over the roasted asparagus.
• Cover tightly, shake, and place in refrigerator to chill (please note that the asparagus is still hot in the container, and that covering them and adding the sauce at this point will continue to steam them a bit for a few minutes).
• Chill for at least 4 hours before serving, the place attractively on serving platter.
• Goes well as part of an anti pasto course!
• Note: although I used these as an appetizer/snack, they could also work quite well as a side dish.

BALSAMIC ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Snap off tough ends of asparagus.
• Spray a jelly-roll pan with Pam. Place the asparagus on the pan then drizzle with olive oil and vinegar; sprinkle with salt, and pepper, tossing to coat.
• Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. After 8 minutes, sprinkle the garlic over the aspargus and give the tray a shake. Bake for another 2 minutes.

GARLIC-ROASTED BROCCOLI DRIZZLED WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine oil and garlic.
• Spread broccoli florets onto baking sheet.
• Pour garlic oil, salt and pepper over broccoli and toss to coat.
• Roast in oven at 475 degrees for 6-9 minutes, turning once. Broccoli should be tender and slightly charred on the edges.
• Drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving!

ROASTED GARLIC AND BALSAMIC MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum mixing bowl. Pour into a zip-lock bag. Add the steaks and marinate for 4 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.

ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH GARLIC, THYME, AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F/200C or heat gas or charcoal grill to medium high. Wash mushrooms, pull out stems, and cut into halves (or quarters if the mushrooms are large.) Put mushrooms into bowl and toss with 2 T olive oil, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Cover a roasting pan with foil, then arrange mushrooms on the pan in a single layer. (Spread them out as much as you can. For cooking on a grill, I'd probably use heavy foil to make a "pan" so the flame doesn't turn the bottom of the roasting pan black.) Roast mushrooms 15 minutes. While mushrooms cook, finely chop fresh thyme, then mix with minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and the tsp. of olive oil. (You could mix this right in the bowl you originally tossed the mushrooms with.) After 15 minutes, drain off any liquid that has accumulated. (If you spread the mushrooms out well, the liquid will evaporate, but if yours are too crowded like mine, you'll have a little liquid to pour off.) Then toss the hot mushrooms with they garlic-thyme mixture. Arrange back on roasting pan and cook about 10 minutes more. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

ROASTED GARLIC STUFFED STEAK WITH GARLIC MASHERS AND BALSAMIC CREAM SAUCE(VERY EASY)

Steps:

• Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
• You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary.
• Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them.
• In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally.
• Season with olive oil and sea salt.
• Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly.
• Take out and set aside.
• Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot.
• Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach.
• When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic.
• You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out.
• Mix together very well!
• Season with salt and pepper.
• You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point.
• Set aside.
• Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops.
• Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing.
• Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference.
• I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream.
• A little parsley to garnish.
• For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat.
• Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar.
• Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3.
• Take out the rosemary.
• To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes.
• Garnish with fresh rosemary.
• It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this.
• I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal.
• It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare.
• You can even make the stuffing the night before.
• Enjoy!
• And long live garlic!

ROASTED VEGETABLE BOWL WITH WHITE BEANS AND GARLIC-BALSAMIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread pine nuts on a sheet pan; roast until golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Put potatoes and garlic on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Add zucchini and rosemary, toss, then continue roasting until vegetables are tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Squeeze roasted garlic out of its skin into a small bowl, mashing it slightly with a fork. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, balsamic vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; whisk to combine.
• Toss roasted potatoes and zucchini in a large bowl with beans, arugula, tomatoes, and dressing. Serve in bowls sprinkled with toasted pine nuts.

BALSAMIC ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• PREPARE:.
• Using a large baking pan with sides (I use a 9x13x2 inch), cover completely with tinfoil.
• Spray tinfoil with cooking spray at least twice (I like to step outside to do this) and set aside.
• Remove as much of the loose, paperthin covering from the bulbs that you can by hand. If it does not come off easily, don't take it off.
• Working on a cutting board, using a sharp heavy knife, cut through the tops of each bulb. Save the tops. Don't take bulbs apart.
• Place all the cut bulbs in the pan. They should be touching each other.
• Sprinkle the vinegar over the tops of garlic bulbs. If you have a small spray bottle that you can put the vinegar into, all the better.**.
• At this time, you can add some salt, lightly to the tops, if you wish (I don't).
• BAKING:.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees after you cut the bulb tops off.
• Cover the entire pan tightly with tinfoil.
• Place pan in middle half of hot oven.
• Lower heat to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 30 to forty-five minutes.
• Remove from oven in 30 minutes and test for doneness WITHOUT removing tinfoil. Using a thin sharp knife, stab once at garlic bulbs that are in center of pan. If knife goes in easily, remove tinfoil and return pan to oven for 15 minutes more for browning. If bulbs are not soft, bake another 15 minutes or until soft and then brown.
• Remove pan from oven and let cool on rack before trying to handle. The garlic can sit for up to three hours without it being affected poorly.
• REMOVAL AND STORING:.
• This is the messy part, no getting away from it. I have been known to wear thin rubber gloves (I save the kind that comes with hair dying kits) for this next part, but don't bother anymore. This is also why I make so much at a time.
• Over bowl, holding a bulb, cut side facing down, squeeze until bulbs pop out. If they are overcooked, it will be very mushy (this is how I like it). Get as much out as possible using free hand to help pull out.
• When all bulbs are done, check bowl for any skins that may have come off, and remove.
• Mash with a fork until very creamy and smooth. You can also put bulbs into a mini mixer until smooth. I don't because by the time I get all the garlic out, I'm finished by hand.
• You can store garlic in fridge for up to a month like this or freeze and keep until the next ice age. When freezing, you can divide in many ways; using half cups, using ice cube trays, or my way!
• Open a fresh gallon freezer storage bag.
• Spoon in the mashed garlic. Place on a flat surface and press garlc press down, til it fills the bag. If there is too much garlic, use two bags. After you have pressed the garlic throughout the bag, along with the air. Seal it. Place it flat in your freezer and when hard, put this bag inside another freezer bag and seal.
• Now, when you want to use the garlic, remove from the freezer at the time you are ready to use. Don't let it stand around waiting for you, as I have found that each time it defrosts and re-freezes, it loses some of its potency.
• Open bag and with the blunt end of a butter knife, cut the amount you want to use, slip the knife between the garlic and the bag and lift out. Return unused portion to freezer.
• * Garlic tops: Don't throw them away! Make some garlic broth, of course!
• ** I saved a spray margarine container for this.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH ROASTED GARLIC TOAST AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat the head of garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and roast 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Once the garlic is roasted, cut the head in half horizontally, exposing all the cloves. Squeeze both halves into a bowl, discarding any skin. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• While the garlic is roasting, place the minced shallot in a bowl with the balsamic and red wine vinegars for about 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. Whisk in remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place asparagus spears in the mixture until ready to grill.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Place asparagus in a large skillet or directly on the grill. Grill the asparagus, turning over once, until tender, about 10 minutes. While asparagus is grilling, spread the roasted garlic mixture on the bread. Grill bread until toasted. Arrange the bread and asparagus on a plate, and drizzle with the remaining shallot and vinegar mixture.
