garlic cloves
olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Peel off the loose skin.
Cut off the head so the garlic is exposed at the top.
If your knife misses a couple cloves, just use a paring knife to cut the tips off.
Place a piece of tin foil underneath the garlic and drizzle about 1 tsp of olive oil on top, making sure to cover each exposed clove.
Wrap each garlic clove in tin foil and place in a small oven-safe dish or muffin tin.
Roast in the oven for 35-55 minutes at 400F until the cloves are golden in colour.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before gently squeezing the garlic out of each skin. You can also use a paring knife to cut away the skin.
Notes
From http://ohsheglows.com/2011/09/21/how-to-roast-garlic/. This turns out very well, but it can be a little sticky to handle if you don't let it cool completely. If the garlic overcooks it just becomes spreadable.
