how to... roast garlic


roasted garlic is delicious.  if you've never tried it, i feel really sorry for you.
like, really really sorry. just follow these instructions and your life will be enriched.

p.s. your kitchen is going to smell like garlic and you are going to drool. a lot.


preheat your oven to 400
get a head of garlic, skin and all

slice off the top

place it on a sheet of foil and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil

scrunch it together at the top to form a pouch
(p.s. like my nail polish? thanks, i do too)


place it in the oven for 40-45 minutes

when the time is up, take it out and let it cool


then you can pretty much squeeze the cloves out

they are soft and delicious. roasting brings out the sweetnes, so you can actually eat these straight.

or spread some on a piece of french bread...

it's really really good, promise


u jealous?

that was easy. go do it. ok?
like, now.
