Tips
To roast garlic, cut the top off a bulb of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the bulb in the center of a square sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle the top of the bulb with olive oil. Gather up the sides of the foil and pinch to seal the garlic within the foil. Place in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until the garlic is very tender.
