Roasted Garlic

Farmer’s Market

1 bulb garlic

2 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Remove the dry outer skin on the bulb. Leave skin on the outer layer of cloves.

Cut off 1/8-inch of the top portion of each clove. This leaves the individual cloves exposed. Drizzle olive oil over saturating the cloves. Place cut side up in a small baking pan. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Cloves should be soft when pressed. Allow the head to cool slightly. Using the tip of a small knife, remove soft paste.

Yield: 1 teaspoon paste from a medium-size bulb.
