Ingredients

  • head garlic
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400˚F.
  • Remove the loose outer skins and cut about 1/4-inch off the top of each garlic bulb exposing a bit of each clove of garlic.
  • Place the garlic in a small covered casserole dish and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Cover and roast the garlic in the oven for 30-45 minutes or until the garlic cloves are tender. Remove the garlic from the oven and allow the bulbs to cool.
  • Once the garlic bulbs are cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb into a dish.
