Ingredients




1 clove garlic
1-2 tsp good quality olive oil

Preparation

1 Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. 2 Peel the outer skin from your garlic. With a sharp knife cut the top off the head exposing all of the cloves. You will need to do many of the cloves individually. You want to leave one layer of the skin on each clove leaving each clove in its "wrapping". 3 Place your clove on a sheet of foil, large enough to wrap around the clove. Pour olive oil over the head and rub with your fingers to make sure that the oil covers every clove. 4 Wrap the coated head of garlic in the foil. 5 Place on a tray to catch any leakage. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the garlic turns a nice mellow caramel color and is soft when squeezed. Now it's ready to use as a spread, in a recipe or however you would like!
