Author's Notes

To roast garlic, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the outer layers of the garlic head, and cut off the top to reveal the cloves inside. Drizzle some olive oil on top, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for about 1 hour.

It can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
