Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut head of garlic in half, width-wise, then place both halves on a sheet of aluminum foil big enough to wrap around the garlic head. Drizzle oil over the cut sides of the garlic halves, then replace the top half onto the bottom half and wrap the aluminum around the garlic to cover it completely. Place on a baking sheet or baking dish and place into preheated oven. Bake for at least one hour.
  • Take out of oven and open foil, let cool for 2-5 minutes, then use roasted garlic as needed.
  • Keep in fridge for up to two weeks.
