Garlic becomes sweet, mellow, and nutty when roasted. Squeeze the flesh out of the cloves and spread on bread for a great appetizer or side dish.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 whole heads garlic

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove some of the papery skins from the garlic heads. Cut off the top 1/2" to expose the cloves. Place garlic on baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
