How to Roast Garlic ...and make a Fancy-Pants Crostini

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)

Break apart 4 bulbs of garlic and remove the skins from individual cloves

Use a knife to give each garlic clove a light whack to break the skin and peel it off

Place the peeled garlic cloves on aluminum foil

Drizzle olive oil over the garlic, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dry thyme

Fold the aluminum foil to create a pouch for the garlic

Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for doneness around 35 minutes

Carefully open the foil pouch to avoid steam burns

Spread the roasted garlic on slices of bread while still hot

Top the garlic spread with feta cheese, capers, and kalamata olives
