Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the garlic will roast evenly and develop a rich flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic Bulbs

    Take 2 whole garlic bulbs and slice off the top of each bulb, exposing the individual cloves inside. You want to remove just enough to ensure the cloves are exposed but keep the bulbs intact.

  3. 3

    Season Garlic

    Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the exposed cloves of the garlic. Make sure to coat them evenly. Then, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper over the garlic.

Roasting

  1. 4

    Wrap in Foil

    Wrap each prepared garlic bulb tightly in aluminum foil. This will help trap moisture and allow the garlic to roast properly.

  2. 5

    Roast Garlic

    Place the wrapped garlic bulbs directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.

  3. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once roasted, remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins. They can be spread on bread, used in recipes, or enjoyed as a delicious side.
