Ingredients
1headgarlic
1-2tbspolive oil
Instructions
Heat the oven to 400°F. Peel off the loose, papery outer layers on the outside of as many heads of garlic as desired, leaving the head intact.
Cut 1/4 to 1/3 inch off the tops of the heads leaving the head intact. Place the head on a small piece of foil, large enough to wrap up and around. Drizzle olive oil all over, especially into the exposed cuts.
Wrap the foil up and around the garlic. Place the garlic on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minute to 1 and half hours depending on how caramelized you want it. The longer it roasts, the more brown, sweet and caramelized it becomes.
Remove from the oven and let cool until you can safely touch it, then squeeze the cloves out from the bottom of the head. Enjoy any way you like!
Notes
Estimated nutrition is for 1 whole head per person, because who would eat less than that?
