    How to make Roasted Garlic

    Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the top of the heads of garlic to reveal the cloves inside.....

    There's no right or wrong way to slice the garlic. I have even sliced them in half and roasted all four halves together before, so you can't mess up...trust me!

    Place the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil.....

    Gently fold up the sides of the foil and create a ball. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to keep the heat inside.....

    Place in the oven and bake for one hour. Remove from the oven and carefully open the foil to allow the heat to escape.....

    Allow to cool enough that you do not burn your fingers for the next step...oil is hot and it burns!! When the garlic is cool enough, no I do not listen to my own advice, squeeze each clove of garlic out of it's paper shell.....

    Now it is ready to be used in a recipe. Mine will be smashed with a fork and used to create a compound butter. 🙂
