Author's Notes

To roast garlic, preheat 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.

This dish can be stored in the fridge for several weeks.
