Roasted Garlic Heads

Ingredients
  

  • Full Head of Garlic

Instructions
 

  • Brush off loose outer skin and dirt from the head
  • Slice off the top of the head, cutting through most of the clove tips
  • Set the head in a piece of foil or a garlic roasting dish
  • Drizzle olive oil over the open cloves, then add a pinch of salt
  • Snug up the foil, or put the lid on the garlic roaster, if using, and put in oven (or grill).
  • I’m usually roasting this along with the main meal, so I put it in at whatever temperature I’m cooking with, but 350 degrees should be enough.
  • It takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the heat and size of the garlic head. Just keep squishing it to see how soft it is. When done, it will be really squishy and browned slightly.
  • To use, let the head cool slightly, then you can either use a butter knife to pluck out the individual cloves, or squeeze individual cloves with your fingers. The clove will spread nicely on bread or toast…or anything, really.
