Ingredients

  • 1 whole heads garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • A toaster oven works well for this. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205° C).

  • Cut the tops of the cloves by 1/4 to 1/2 inch with a sharp knife.
  • This reveals the individual garlic cloves.
  • Place garlic in a muffin pan or baking dish:
  • Put the cut-side-up garlic heads in a baking dish.
  • Olive oil should be drizzled over each exposed head of garlic. Use your fingers to rub the olive oil into all the cut, exposed garlic cloves.
  • Wrap the lightbulb in aluminum foil.
  • Bake the cloves for 30 to 40 minutes at 400°F (205°C), or until they are tender to the touch and have a light brown color.
  • Let the garlic to come down to a safe temperature before touching it. Cut each clove's skin slightly all around with a tiny knife. The roasted garlic cloves should be pulled or squeezed out of their skins using a cocktail fork or your fingers.
