roasted garlic

i love garlic and when it is cold season, it is the best.  it is loaded with vitamin b6 and c.  i feel garlic has a bad rap for it's smell and, if you eat enough of it, you will smell like garlic.  i, personally, enjoy the scent and i think it tastes delish plus all the good it does the body health wise...all of the positive outweigh the smell factor for me.

it is so heavenly roasted...roasted garlic spreads on bread like butter. it can be paired with a nice cheese or eat it smeared on toasted french bread with a side of warm soup...which is the perfect meal when you are feeling a cold coming on.

ingredients/supplies:
-1 (or as many as you like) head(s) of garlic
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-a pinch of kosher salt and pepper
-a knife, some foil, and an oven

-prepping/chopping:
-heat oven to 425
-chop the root end of the bulb off carefully as to leave as much of the garlic as you can in tact

-tear a piece of foil large enough to cover garlic and drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper
-place garlic cut side down in the seasoning and create a pouch

cooking:
-place in the pouch on the middle rack of your oven and cook for about 35-45 minutes...you may have to check the garlic to make sure it is soft and buttery...if it is not...just rap it back up and cook it for another 15-20 mins.

i made this for a friend so i did not open the pouch when it was done cooking as i wanted it to stay intact so i don't have a photo of the final product, but i promise that it is sure to be roasted golden brown and so yummy!

enjoy!!
