Roasted garlic is a great way to add flavor to just about any appetizer, main dish, or side dish, and it makes an excellent spread for toasted baguette slices.

Cook Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole bulb garlic
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Dash sea salt, or kosher salt

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 F.
  • Remove the outer paper layers from a head of garlic.
  • Cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the head, exposing the tops of most of the cloves. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt or kosher salt.
  • Place the garlic in a small baking dish and cover with foil. Roast the garlic at 400 F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and tender.
  • Squeeze the soft garlic out into a small bowl and mash; add to salad dressing, potatoes, vegetables, or meat dishes.
  • Roast as many heads as you like. For less mess, wrap the garlic in oiled heavy duty foil and set the wrapped cloves in a baking dish.
