HOW TO: Roast Garlic

Roasting garlic is easy, and makes the garlic sweeter, softer and just that much more amazing in any dish. Add it to mashed potatoes, put it in pasta sauces, on pizza crusts, in soups or even just spread it on toasted bread... yum!

So lets do it!

STEP ONE:
Use a whole head of garlic and cut off the top just to leave leave the garlic exposed, remove a couple of the outer layers, and drizzle on a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.

 

STEP TWO:
Wrap in foil, and place in oven at 375 for about an hour.
If you would like to make more than one head, then place them all in a pan and cover entire pan with foil.  Remove when you smell that beautiful sweet garlic flavor and each clove is soft.

STEP FOUR:

Wait till completely cool and with a small cocktail fork or knife gently remove each clove from the skin. 

Now be creative!
