Roasted garlic transforms the strong taste of raw garlic into a rich and decadent spread, perfect for bread. This recipe involves wrapping garlic in foil with olive oil and salt, then roasting it to mellow the flavor and aroma.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°.
Step 2: Cut the tops off the whole garlic, exposing the cloves.
Step 3: Generously coat the top of the garlic in olive oil and sprinkle salt across each top.
Step 4: Place 1-2 springs of thyme or rosemary on top of the garlic, then flip them over so that the side with the cloves is face down.
Step 5: Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil to create a small package.
Step 6: Roast in the oven for 45 minutes.
Step 7: Take out and serve with crusty bread and goat cheese, or use as desired.
