Ronnie's Notes

Garlic is rather tame when you roast it. Try this ultra-easy dish and see for yourself.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Remove the loose papery peel from the outside of the garlic head.

Put the head on a small sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle it with the olive oil.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs.

Wrap the garlic completely in the foil.

Bake 11/2– or until the garlic is soft when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.

Remove the garlic.

Slice a piece from the top of the garlic to expose the flesh.

To serve, let the garlic cool and have guests scoop some from the head; alternatively, they can use their fingers to take a clove of the cooled garlic and squeeze it onto a cracker or cut-up vegetable.
