How To Oven Roast Garlic

I am doing this today and am very excited to see how it is going to work. I have been using garlic so much more now with our change in cooking that and we love garlic. I got this out of my clean eating magazine and then on their website it looks easy. Will let you know how it turns out!!!

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel the outside layer of skin but leave enough to keep individual cloves bound together. (You can wear gloves to avoid smelly hands.)

STEP 2
With a kitchen knife, cut a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the head, exposing the cloves.

  
STEP 3 
Put into a baking dish or muffin tin. (Muffin tins as the compartments keep the garlic head nice and tight.) Using your fingers, spread olive oil thoroughly over the head of the garlic. Make sure it’s coated all over, otherwise the edges will burn.

STEP 4
Cover with tinfoil and bake for 30 minutes. To tell if it’s done, poke with a toothpick. The toothpick should go through but feel slight resistance. You want it soft, not mushy.
