Ingredients

• 4 large heads of garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Remove the outer papery skin of garlic heads, leaving the cloves intact.
3. Cut the top 1/4-inch off garlic heads to expose the cloves.
4. In a small baking dish place heads with cut side up. Pour oil over garlic heads. Cover with foil and bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until cloves are soft. Let cool, then pull or squeeze garlic cloves from the skins.
