Instructions
Roast Garlic
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice about ¼ inch off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Remove most of the outer papery skin, keeping the head intact. Place on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and wrap tightly.
- Roast for 40–50 minutes, or until the cloves are golden brown and soft. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, then squeeze or peel the roasted cloves from their skins.

- Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with extra chopped herbs and a pinch of cayenne, if desired. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or fresh veggies and enjoy!
