Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Garlic

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Cherry Tomatoes

    While the garlic is roasting, wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. In a bowl, toss them with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Chopping the Fresh Basil

    Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Stack a few leaves, roll them tightly, and slice them into thin strips (chiffonade).

  4. 4

    Preparing the Roasted Garlic

    Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Mash the garlic with a fork to create a smooth paste.
