Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Garlic bulb
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove any loose outer layers of the garlic bulb, leaving the cloves still attached and covered in skin.
Using a sharp knife, slice about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves.
Place the garlic bulb on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring all the exposed cloves are coated.
Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the garlic for added flavor.
Wrap the garlic bulb tightly in the aluminum foil, sealing it completely to trap the steam.
Place the wrapped garlic bulb directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
Roast for 40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before handling.
To serve, squeeze the bottom of the garlic bulb to pop out the soft roasted cloves or scoop them out with a small utensil.
