Author's Notes

To roast a head of garlic, pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut off the top of the heat of the garlic to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle a little salt on top. Wrap it in foil and roast it for an hour. When it is done, keep it wrapped up and in the refrigerator to use it as you need it!
