Equipment

  • Tinfoil

Ingredients
  

  • Head of garlic
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºC.
  • Remove any loose, papery outer layers of the peel.
  • Slice off the top 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the head.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and, if desired, sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Wrap in tinfoil or pop into the oven for 40 minutes*.

Notes

*As long as you turn the oven off, there's no need to remove the garlic from the oven. I usually let mine sit in the cooling oven and enjoy the extra caramelized goodness it imparts.
If not using right away, store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. May be frozen for no more than three months.
