Roasted Garlic
Ingredients
- 2 garlic bulbs
- 2 - 4 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt, Kosher (to taste)
- Pepper, fresh ground (to taste)
- Sliced bread or toast (if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch slice from the top of the garlic bulbs. Cut off enough so the cloves are exposed.
- Carefully peel off the outer paper-like skin from the garlic bulbs. Leave enough to hold the garlic cloves together.
- Place the bulbs cut side up on a 12 inch piece of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle 1 - 2 teaspoons of olive oil over each bulb. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each bulb in the foil. Place in a shallow baking dish or pie pan.
- Bake about 45 minutes or until the garlic is tender when pierced with a fork or toothpick.
- Squeeze the soft garlic out of the cloves. Spread the garlic on bread or toast. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired.
Notes
Wait until the garlic bulbs are cool enough to touch before squeezing out the soft garlic.
Try spreading the garlic on some bread and then sprinkling some toasted almonds over the garlic. It is delicious!
