Notes
To roast garlic, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Start with a whole head of garlic. Remove the papery outer layer and then use a knife slice off about a 1/2 inch of the top of the cloves. Drizzle some oil over the top and then either wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet, or put the head of garlic into a muffin tin and cover that with some foil. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until the garlic is brown and soft.
