Ingredients
- 1 head garlic (outer paper leaves discarded but bulb left intact)
- 1-2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top 1/2″ from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). Place garlic bulb in a ramekin, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and into a small dish. Mash with a fork and use as desired.
