HOW-TO ROAST GARLIC | roasted garlic recipe

Cut about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the top of each bulb of garlic to expose the cloves.

Gently push back the papery outer coating on the garlic to remove as much as possible.

Take a piece of foil for each bulb, lay the bulb of garlic in the middle, and drizzle with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a little bit of black pepper.

Pull up the sides of the foil to create a package and ensure it's sealed.

Place the garlic packages into a shallow baking dish, like a pie plate or cookie sheet.

Pop the dish into the oven at 400°F for about 45 minutes, until the garlic is soft, creamy, and golden brown.

Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before handling.

Open the foil package to release the garlicky aroma and check the garlic's color.

Squeeze out the individual cloves, which should come out easily and be a soft, creamy paste.
