Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bulbs Garlic bulbs (whole)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel away the loose, papery outer layers of the garlic bulbs, leaving the bulbs intact with individual cloves still connected.
Using a sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves.
Place the garlic bulbs cut-side up on a sheet of aluminum foil.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each bulb, making sure to coat the exposed cloves well.
Sprinkle each bulb with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in the aluminum foil to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil packet directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, then roast for 40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft, golden brown, and fragrant.
Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly before handling.
To serve, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and spread onto bread or use in recipes as desired.
