Ingredients

  • whole head of garlic outer layer removed
  • olive oil
  • optional: sprig of thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. If you are using a ceramic/terra cotta garlic roaster, submerge it in water for 15 minutes before placing it in the oven.

  2. Cut the top 1/4" off the garlic bulb(s).
  3. Place in the garlic baker or on top of a sheet of aluminum foil.
  4. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Add herb sprig, if using.
  5. Add the lid or wrap up with foil and place in a cold oven.

  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes at 350F.
  7. Scoop the roasted bulbs out of each shell.
  8. Use immediately or store in the fridge covered in a little olive oil for up to 1 week. You can freeze it for longer storage to use in soups. But why would you freeze this goodness?
