Ingredients




1 head garlic
extra virgin olive oil, to taste

3 whole-wheat pita breads
sea salt, to taste

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 2 Slice off the top of the garlic head evenly, cutting off a thin slice of the cloves themselves. Leave the root end intact. Do not peel. Place the garlic head in a baking pan and drizzle about 1/2 tbs of the olive oil over it. Bake for 30 minutes. After approximately 15 minutes, drizzle about another 1/2 tbs oil over the garlic to keep it moist. (You should use about 1 tbs or less). 3 To prepare the pita toasts, split each pita into 2 disks, then stack the disks on top of each other and cut into quarters. Spread them on a baking sheet and place in the oven with the garlic. Bake for 4 minutes, or until crisp. 4 Serve the toasts and garlic together. Season with salt if desired and a few drops of the oil.
