Roasted garlic is so simple to make. It’s wonderful in sauces, casseroles, vegetable dishes, or by itself spread on a good piece of bread. Tomorrow’s post will include a garlic sauce that includes it, so I thought I’d better include a quick “How to Roast Garlic” post today!
Preheat oven to 450º. You will need a head of garlic, a pinch of coarse salt, about a teaspoon of olive oil, and a large square of aluminum foil.
Cut the top of of the garlic head to expose the tops of the cloves.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Pull the corners of the foil up and twist. Put the wrapped head of garlic in the oven. You can put it in a muffin tin to keep it upright. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft and the top looks caramely.
Garlic will be *very* hot when it comes out of the oven. Wait for it to cool, and then remove cloves individually, or just squeeze it all out at once.
