Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cut just enough of the top from the head of garlic to expose the inside of each clove. This will probably be about 1/4 inch (6 mm). Place head on a sheet of foil. Season with salt and olive oil, wrap the foil over to seal, and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the garlic is tender, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of your head of garlic. The garlic is done when you pierce the foil with the tip of a paring knife and it meets little to no resistance.
  • Let the roasted garlic cool slightly prior to unwrapping the foil.
