Roasted Garlic

Ingredients

• 1 head of garlic
• Olive oil

To Prepare

1. Peel away the papery white outer layer that covers the bulb. Leave the individual covering on each clove and leave each clove attached to the root.
2. Cut a little off the top of the cloves so that you can see down into each clove. Cut the top (pointed end/stalk) off the head of garlic.
3. Place the head of garlic on a piece of foil large enough to wrap the garlic in. Or use one of those great clay garlic roasters. Or, place cloves in muffin tins, drizzle oil into each garlic head, and cover entire tray with foil.
4. Drizzle or brush a little olive oil over the garlic head.
5. Wrap the garlic head well with the foil.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF/175ºC for about 60 minutes, until the garlic is soft.
7. Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and simply pop the individual cloves out of the roasted paper outers. They should come out easily.

Serve with salt.
