Roasted garlic

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 larges Garlic heads; whole and unpeeled
1½ tablespoon Olive oil
1 tablespoon Fresh thyme; chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary; chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Place the garlic in a small roasting pan or ovenproof skillet and drizzle the oil on top. Sprinkle with the herbs, a pinch of salt, and a generous grinding of pepper.

Roast the garlic until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and serve.

Roasted garlic can be used in any number of ways - aside from making your house smell like heaven. It can be squeezed out of its papery skin and spread on thinly sliced toast, pizza, or bruschetta; placed on top of fish, beef or poultry dishes; mixed into pasta sauces or dips; or served as a side dish to just about any meal.
