Easy Roasted Garlic

A simple and delicious way to make spread for hot, crusty bread or to add to recipes some special garlic flavor.

Ingredients:
A whole head of garlic (you can do more than one)
Olive oil
Salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Peel off some of the outer layers of garlic skin. Slice the top of the garlic head about 1/4 inch. Place head in a whole in a muffin tin or you can set on a sheet of foil.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover the bulb with foil or wrap the foil around the garlic clove to close.
3. Roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes until they are soft and are just starting to turn golden brown.
4. Set aside until they are cool enough to handle. Remove garlic and enjoy as an appetizer or to put in a recipe.

It's sooo delicious! Spreadable, simple, yummy! I love adding it to my recipes as a bonus of flavor, Zach loves it when I make pasta sauce and this is one of my secrets.
