You haven’t had garlic bread ’till you’ve had toasted bread smeared with warm, freshly roasted garlic.  Roasting garlic is very simple.

How to Roast Garlic

You will need:

• Head of Garlic
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Aluminium Foil
• Baking Sheet or Muffin Tin

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Chop the head off the garlic, exposing the cloves.
3. Peel the outermost layer of the skin.
4. Drizzle some olive oil on a small piece of aluminium foil.  Place the garlic head in the olive oil.
5. Drizzle more olive oil onto the garlic oil and salt.
6. Wrap the garlic in the foil and place on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin.
7. Roast for 30 minutes or until the cloves are soft.
8. When cool enough to handle, use a cocktail fork to remove the garlic cloves or squeeze the head onto toast or dish and spread with a knife.
