Ingredients

  • 4 heads garlic
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Peel away the extra layers of garlic paper. Leave one thin layer to hold the garlic together. Cut a 1/4-inch from the top of the cloves.
  3. Place each individual head of garlic, cut side up, in a muffin pan. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season the garlic with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  4. Top each garlic head with a small piece of foil to prevent the garlic from getting too dark while roasting. The foil also helps create steam to slowly roast the garlic.
  5. Bake until the cloves inside the packet are light brown and soft. About 40 minutes to 1 hour. Test for doneness by pricking an individual clove with a fork. The garlic should be soft and tender.
  6. Enjoy roasted garlic whole, spread on bread, or use it in your favorite recipes. It adds so much flavor to sauces, spreads, pasta, or any dish!
