Yield: dependent on amount of garlic used
If you like garlic, you'll love roasted garlic. If you don't care for raw garlic, you might still love roasted garlic! The magic lies in the fact that the longer you cook garlic, the milder and sweeter it becomes. Roasting garlic in the bulb is a little different than roasting other vegetables.
Ingredients:
Head of Garlic
Olive oil (1/2 teaspoon per head of garlic)
Salt (optional)
Black pepper (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees F. Take out a sheet of foil and lay it on a flat surface.
Cut about 1/4-inch off the pointed end of the garlic bulb. This will expose the top of most of the garlic cloves in the bulb. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed cloves. Sprinkle the top with freshly ground salt and black pepper if desired. Wrap the foil up around the garlic bulb and fold or twist the foil at the top to seal in garlic bulb.
Bake for 30 or 40 minutes or until the garlic cloves are golden brown and completely soft.
Spread on bread or use on top of pizza or in your favorite recipe. Enjoy!
