How to Make Well Roasted Garlic

Garlic is bitter and strong in its natural state, but when its roasted its a delicacy. Roasted garlic goes great with bread, pasta, crackers, you name it. Here is how to roast it.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Oven
• Garlic
• Aluminum Foil
• Olive Oil

1. First, get a bulb of garlic, aluminum foil, and an oven.

2. Set the oven for 400 degrees. Some websites say 425 degrees, but I like to be safe rather than sorry. So far, I certainly havent been sorry!

3. Cut off the top of garlic bulb and place it in the aluminum foil.

4. Drizzle the bulb of garlic in olive oil. Some people also like to use canola oil, ive heard, though i don't like the taste.

5. Place bulbs in the middle of the oven facing upright, and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until tender. Again, I like to be safe than sorry, so check it at 30 to be sure.

6. Take the bulb out of the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
