Three roasted bulbs of garlic.

Roasted garlic is one of my favourite things. My older daughter and I sometimes sauté garlic in olive oil if we don’t have any on hand.

Cravings must be satiated!

Did you know that garlic is thought to have originated in mid-Asia and was called “Russian penicillin” in WWII when antibiotics ran short.

INGREDIENTS

  • Full bulbs of garlic

  • Extra virgin olive oil (or other oil)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.

  2. Remove any excess paper on the garlic and trim the end off the bottom so all the cloves are visible.

  3. Put oil in a casserole dish put the garlic in, sliding them around so the bottoms are coated in oil.

  4. Cook about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven until cool enough to handle. When you pinch the top of the garlic bulb and lift it up, all the cloves will fall out.
