Roasting Garlic

• Garlic
• Olive oil

If you have a little garlic roaster like the one pictured, use it, otherwise, make a foil pouch and use that.

Pre-heat your oven to 375F.

Peel the outermost layers from your garlic bulb and use a sharp knife to cut off the dried end where the roots were.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the cut end and put the lid on, or fold the foil over to tent the garlic.

Bake the garlic in the middle of the oven for 40–50 minutes.

Take it out of the oven and, when it's cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted goodness out of each clove.

You can do this with store-bought pre-peeled garlic too, but you'll need to cut 10 minutes off the cooking time, and it won't be quite as good.
