Roasted Garlic
Ingredients
6 heads of garlic, whole (without any missing cloves)
Vegetable Oil, enough for drizzling
1 Muffin pan
Aluminum foil, enough to wrap heads
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel each head of garlic leaving the skin of each clove intact. Using a knife cut the head ¼ inch away from the top, exposing the flesh of each clove.
Drizzle cloves with olive oil. Wrap in aluminum foil to prevent scorching and place packages in muffin pan.
Place pan in oven for 30-35 minutes or until cloves are soft when squeezed.
When cool enough to handle, use a small knife to loosen each clove. With a small fork, pull out the roasted clove.
Store roasted garlic in airtight container under refrigeration for two weeks.
