How to Make How To Roast Garlic

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut off about 1/4 inch from the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves.
  3. Place the garlic head in a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil generously over the exposed cloves, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic head, sealing it completely. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. The cloves should be easily squeezable.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly until you can comfortably handle the garlic.
  7. Gently squeeze each roasted clove out of its skin. Discard the outer papery skin.
  8. Enjoy your roasted garlic! Spread it on bread with olive oil and salt, add it to your favorite recipes, or use it as a flavorful topping.
