Calories 10kcal
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400°F. Remove the outer layers of the garlic skin, leaving just the innermost layer on.
- Slice off the top 1/4" of the garlic bulb and place bulb on a sheet of aluminum foil, cut-side up.
- Slowly drizzle olive oil over top of the bulb, ensuring the oil drips down in the nooks and crannies in between the cloves.
- Wrap up the garlic in the foil, wrapping it in a second layer, if needed, to make sure the oil won't drip out. Place wrapped garlic directly on an oven rack situated near the center of the oven.
- Roast for 40 minutes, or until the cloves are a deep golden-brown and a tester inserted into the middle of the centermost clove can be easily inserted and removed. Roasted garlic can be stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
