Roasted Garlic
1 garlic bulb (1 to 4 bulbs)
2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil for each garlic
bulb
Salt and pepper to taste
Sliced French bread, if desired
Heat the oven to 350ş.
Carefully peel the paperlike skin from around each bulb of garlic, leaving
just enough to hold the cloves together. Cut a 1/4- to 1/2-inch slice from
the top of each bulb to expose the cloves. Place bulb, cut side up, on a
12-inch square of aluminum foil.
Drizzle 2 teaspoons oil over each bulb. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Wrap foil securely around the bulb. Place in the baking pan or pie plate.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until garlic is tender when pierced with a
toothpick or fork. Cool slightly. To serve, gently squeeze one end of each
clove to release the roasted garlic. Spread on slices of bread.

Tip
Garlic bulbs, sometimes called “heads” of garlic, are made up of
as many as fifteen sections called “cloves,” each of which is
covered with a thin skin. You can find garlic bulbs in the produce
section of the supermarket.
