Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Garlic bulbs
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 sheet Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully slice off the top of each garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the cloves inside. Make sure to keep the bulbs intact.
Place each garlic bulb on a square piece of aluminum foil.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of each bulb, ensuring that the oil seeps into the garlic cloves.
Season each bulb with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Divide the rosemary and thyme evenly, placing one sprig of each herb on top of or beside each garlic bulb.
Wrap the aluminum foil around each bulb to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil-wrapped garlic bulbs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and tender.
Carefully remove the roasted garlic packets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before handling.
To serve, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins. Spread onto bread, mix into pasta, or enjoy as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
