How To: Roast Garlic

Roasted Garlic
1 bulb garlic
1-2 tbls olive oil (depends on how large your bulb is)


Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact.
Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.
Place the garlic head on aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over each clove; use your fingers to make sure it's well coated. Wrap in the foil and bake at 400°F for 35 minutes. The resulting cloves should feel soft when pressed. Allow the garlic to cool. Use your fingers to squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins. Use in pasta sauce or eat alone. LR likes to eat them on water crackers with a slice of pepperoni.

I do not recommend eating this when you have an upcoming date, interview, or presentation, etc. You could have really strong breath after this, but on the bright side you won't have to worry about vampires...
