Quick & Easy Roasted Garlic

By AzWench

Roasting a whole bulb of garlic takes well over an hour. We separate the cloves in this recipe and cut the time in half!

Ingredients

• 2 bulbs garlic, cloves separated, left in the skin
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Place separated garlic cloves in the middle of a sheet of foil. Drizzle with EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Wrap foil around the cloves creating a little pouch. Place in the oven until cloves soften and you smell the aroma of garlic, about 30-40 minutes.
Step

Remove from the oven, let cool for 5-10 minutes so it is easy to handle, and squeeze garlic out from the skin.
