Alan’s Kitchen Tip: To roast fresh garlic: 5 garlic bulbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
1) Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch from top of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Remove most of outer skin from bulb, leaving bulb intact and cloves unpeeled.
2) Place bulb, cut-side up, on 8-inch piece aluminum foil.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil.
3) Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until softened. Cool slightly.
4) Separate the cloves and press cloves slightly to squeeze out softened garlic.
5) Use roasted garlic in recipes or spread on French bread.
