Roasted Garlic
Ingredients
1 Bulb of your favorite hardneck garlic
2 Tablespoons of olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
1. Preheat oven to 400F 2. Cut top and remove wrappers so you can see the cloves 3. Wrap bulb with olive oil in aluminum foil 4. Roast for 40 Minutes 5. Open aluminum foil to allow garlic to slightly brown 6. Roast for another 5-10 minutes
Garlic will be soft and can spread like butter. Very smooth taste, not strong like raw garlic. Like mashed potatoes without the potato. I have a hard time not eating the whole bulb on my own.
