Ingredients
- 1 garlic bulb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus up to 1 additional tablespoon, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place your garlic bulb on a cutting board and turn it on it's side. Use a sharp knife to cut the top off of the bulb, cutting off about 25% of the height of the bulb to expose as many of the cloves as possible.
- Drizzle the bulb with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil (depending on the size of the bulb), coating each of the exposed garlic cloves with oil.
- Loosely wrap the garlic in foil, or place it in a garlic roaster. Place it in the oven, directly on the rack.
- Roast the garlic for 30 minutes, then check it for doneness. Carefully unwrap the foil or remove the lid from the garlic roaster. The garlic is finished roasting when the cloves are browned and caramelized.
- If the garlic has not finished roasting, re-cover it and roast it for up to an additional 30 minutes, as needed.
- Remove the garlic from the oven when finished roasting. Uncover it and allow it to cool for a few minutes before attempting to handle it.
- Gently squeeze the garlic bulb to extract the roasted garlic cloves.
