Roasted garlic is so versatile, use this garlic in a sauce, as a spread, and to add warm, caramelized garlicky flavor to just about anything. It's easy to make, aromatic, flavorful, and needs only 2 ingredients!
Preheat the oven to 400°. You can roast as many garlic bulbs as you wish, just roast them individually wrapped. You will need aluminum foil squares, each square big enough to wrap the bulb.
Clear the very outer, sheer layers of of the garlic bulb but leave the thicker inner skin on. Keep the bulb intact.
Slice off tips from garlic cloves on the bulb, just a little, about 1/4 inch.
Place each individual garlic bulb in a middle on an aluminum foil square.
Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the bulb and wrap the bulb in foil.
Place wrapped garlic bulbs onto a roasting pan and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Let the bulbs cool down before using.
