Roasted garlic is yummy and easy. You don't have to have a fancy garlic roaster either. You can just use foil. Once roasted you can spread on crusty bread, throw in mashed potatoes or just eat along side a slab of steak!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. After removing most of the paper from the outside of the heads of garlic, chop the top off being sure to expose the tops of all cloves. You may have to do some tricky cutting if you have some cloves down low on the sides. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. If you are using foil, place cloves on foil in a pie tin, prepare as directed and then seal the foil.
Roast garlic in a 400 degree oven for 40 to 50 minutes until they look nice and caramlized on the top. To remove from skins I use the tines of a fork.
Thank You! I have never roasted garlic before but will definitely give it a try. Sometimes even though something is simple,unless you have seen it done, it can be daunting. I love how newer cookbooks have so many more photos than older cookbooks. Seeing photos helps you to know if you are doing things right and what something is supposed to look like when it is done.
