- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 head of Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the top off of the head of garlic, just enough to expose the heads of the garlic cloves.

- Drizzle olive oil over the head of garlic, cover as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the foil around the head of garlic and close tightly.
- Place the ball of garlic into the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the roasted garlic cool before handling.
Notes
The aluminum foil wrapped garlic can be placed directly in the oven, or you can place it on a shallow baking tray.
Let garlic cool for 5-10 minutes before you attempt to handle it.
Do not discard of any olive oil that remains in foil after garlic is used! Use it to saute veggies, or add to another recipe.
