How To Roast Garlic

Hi Everyone, Eric and I try to include garlic in our diets every day.

Roasting garlic is a great way to have garlic.

It takes the edge or bites out of the garlic, it's flavorful and aromatic and can greatly enhance whatever you are having.

Your kitchen will smell amazing as your whole roasted garlic roasted in the oven!

Wouldn't this be something great to include in a tapas or cheese board?

Ingredients

• garlic
• olive oil (regular)
• Kosher salt (optional)
• fresh ground pepper (optional

Kitchen Tools

• aluminum foil
• cutting board
• chef's knife
