Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Garlic heads
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the papery outer layers of the garlic heads, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact.
Using a sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic heads to expose the tops of the garlic cloves.
Place each garlic head on a square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each, ensuring the oil seeps into the cloves.
Season each garlic head evenly with salt and black pepper.
Top each garlic head with a sprig of fresh thyme.
Wrap each garlic head tightly in the foil, creating a sealed packet.
Place the wrapped garlic heads directly on the oven rack and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before carefully opening the foil packets.
Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins before serving. Enjoy as a spread on low-carb bread, mixed into sauces, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
