HOW TO ROAST GARLIC

1 garlic clove

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Remove as much of the papery covering of the whole garlic head as possible, without breaking up the cloves from the head. Trim the top of the garlic with a knife.

Place the trimmed garlic head in the center of a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with the olive oil. Cover tightly with the foil. Roast in the oven 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes. Remove from the foil and serve immediately (squeezing garlic out of its papery clove skins).

May be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
