Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Garlic bulbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the outer papery layers of the garlic bulbs, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact.
Using a sharp knife, slice approximately 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves.
Place the garlic bulbs on a sheet of aluminum foil, cut side up.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut tops of the bulbs, ensuring that each clove is well-coated.
Sprinkle the bulbs lightly with salt and black pepper.
Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly with the aluminum foil, creating a sealed pouch.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and soft enough to squeeze out easily.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before handling.
To serve, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. Spread on toasted bread, incorporate into recipes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
