Ingredients
  

  • 2 garlic heads
  • 1 tbls olive oil
  • A dash of salt black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice off the tops (just a little to expose the top of the cloves) of the garlic heads with a serrated knife.
  • Put the garlic heads on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the cut side of the garlic.
  • Sprinkle each garlic head with salt and black pepper.
  • Wrap up the garlic heads in the foil, creating a pouch, completely enclosing them.
  • Put the garlic pouch in the oven and cook for about an hour. You can tell that the garlic is done when it begins to soften and turns brown.
  • Remove the garlic pouch from the oven and let cool.
  • To remove the garlic from the skin, squeeze each garlic head from the the root base.

Notes

Using a garlic roaster is also an excellent way to enhance the flavor of garlic, as it mellows and sweetens the cloves, making them soft and spreadable
