How to Roast Garlic

Course Side Dish
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 12 people

Ingredients

  • 2 heads garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Remove excess layers of dried garlic skin from the heads, taking care to leave heads whole.
  3. Cut off tops of each head in order to expose the tops of the cloves within.
  4. Using a muffin tray or small baking dish, add a little extra olive to the bottom of the tray, then place heads upright within.
  5. Drizzle each head with a tablespoon or more of olive oil and generously sprinkle with salt.
  6. A grind of black pepper may be appropriate, as well, per your constitution.

  7. Cover with aluminum foil, bake for 45 minutes.

  8. I like to uncover after the 45 minutes and bake for 10 additional minutes for added color--an unnecessary yet caramelizing step!

  9. Dependent on use, serves 4-8.
