Baked Garlic

List of Ingredients




Whole head of fresh Garlic
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Aluminum Foil

Recipe



Peel as much of the outer skin away as possible, leaving the cloves unpeeled and the head intact (optional: trim the tips of the cloves off to expose the "meat" to the oil/pepper). Place heads in covered casserole or on a piece of heavy aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and bake covered at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes (over an hour in a terra-cotta garlic baker) or until cloves are soft and can be squeezed easily out of their skins onto bread or other foods.
Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with crunchy bread or as an accompaniment to meat or vegetables.
