Method for the roasted garlic

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Trim the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of the garlic cloves, about ½ inch.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the exposed surface of the garlic heads.
  4. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil together and roast in the oven for 40 minutes or until the cloves are soft. The garlic is done when a center clove is completely soft when pierced with a toothpick.  
  5. Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, press on the bottom of a clove to push it out of its skin.
