Ingredients
- 1 whole head garlic unpeeled
- olive oil for drizzling
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400F.
- Using a sharp knife, slice whole garlic in half horizontally, straight across the middle to expose the cloves. Place each half on a large piece of foil, cut side up.
- Drizzle oil generously over the tops of exposed cloves, allowing oil to seep into the cloves. Sprinkle salt on top of each half.
- Place the garlic halves back together. Wrap the garlic tightly with foil, twisting the the top to create a seal and prevent any leaks (like a wrapped Hershey's kiss).
- Place the garlic head on an oven-proof dish. Roast for 1 hour or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
- Remove from the oven, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Carefully open the foil, and gently squeeze the cloves out of the peel.
