Roasted Garlic

What can I say about roasted garlic?  Nothing that you don't already know.  It's sweet, mellow, loaded with umami, and makes just about everything better.  Here's how you do it:

Home Cookin v9.76 Chapter: Beans and Vegetables
ROASTED GARLIC 2 to 4 whole heads garlic
olive oil or butter

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Remove some of the outer leaves of the garlic head and slice the top just enough so that the inside of each bulb is exposed. Wrap each head in foil and add about a teaspoon of olive oil or butter before closing it up.

Place each package in a custard bowl and place the custard bowls in a larger casserole dish, or if you are using enough heads of garlic you can nestle them against each other directly into the casserole dish.

Place the dish in the middle rack of the oven and roast for 30 - 45 minutes, until the heads are soft when the sides are pressed. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 20 minutes, then unwrap the packages. The cloves should be soft enough that you can squeeze them out of their individual skins.
