Preparation

Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place in the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool.
