Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 heads garlic
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel off some of the excess papery outer layer from the garlic, leaving some of it intact to hold the garlic cloves together.
  • Carefully slice off the top ½-inch of the heads of garlic, exposing the individual cloves.
  • Place each head of garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, cut side up. Drizzle each with a teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt on top.
  • Wrap the garlic with the foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 45-50 minutes until the garlic is softened.
  • Let it cool, then squeeze the garlic into a bowl. Wasn't that easy?
