Ingredients

  • 4 heads garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Using a very sharp knife, lop off the top ½” of each head of garlic—exposing most of the cloves.
  • Place the head of garlic, root side down, in a shallow baking dish (a loaf pan usually does the trick). Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are very soft and mushy.
  • To remove the roasted garlic, wait until the heads are cool enough to handle, then squeeze the heads upside down over top of a bowl. The roasted garlic should easily squeeze out of the peel.
