Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 large (10 oz) garlic heads
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt

Instruction

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Cut 1/2 inch (12-mm) off the top of each garlic head to expose most of the tops of the garlic cloves. Place garlic heads, cut side up, in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon oil, season with salt, and gather foil tightly around the garlic to form a packet.
  • Place packet directly on oven rack and roast for 45 minutes. Carefully open just the top of the foil to expose garlic and continue to roast until garlic is soft and golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove garlic from oven and let cool for 20 minutes. When cool, squeeze garlic from skins into a bowl.
