Instructions

Roast Garlic

  • Cut the top ¼” to ½” off of a whole head of garlic, so that each individual clove should be visible. Make sure every garlic clove is exposed.
  • Place the head of garlic on foil paper together with the thyme. Drizzle the top of the garlic with a bit of oil, about 1 teaspoon. Wrap it up and place it in the oven to roast for about 30 minutes or more.
  • It should be soft, fragrant, and golden. Let the garlic cool, then squeeze individual cloves out of the skin.
