Roasted Garlic

There are only two things you need for this recipe--garlic & olive oil. If you've ever roasted garlic in the oven, you know just how wonderful your kitchen can smell once the garlic starts to cook. Garlic gets sweeter with roasting, and you can add it to bread, dips, veggies, meats, or whatever suits your fancy.

Heat oven to 350. Remove loose paper from the garlic bulb and put it in the middle of a layer of heavy duty foil on a shallow pan. Pour one tablespoon of olive oil over top of the garlic, wrap it and twist the foil closed at the top. Roast garlic in the oven for 45 minutes.

Let the garlic cool after you remove it from the oven. Next, squeeze the delicious sweet roasted garlic out of each garlic clove and it's ready to use. You can store any leftovers in the fridge.
