Roasted Garlic Bulb

For years I steamed garlic daily to serve alongside our meals, later I started roasting garlic bulbs. Whole roasted garlic has a much better flavor, it is also milder and sweeter than raw or steamed. I love garlic, not only for its flavor but also for its Nutritional Benefits, 

How To Make Roasted Garlic Bulb?

1. Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Remove the outer skin of the garlic bulb and discard.
2. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic, 
3. Place garlic on a piece of parchment paper and or foil paper. 
4. Drizzle olive oil on the top of the garlic.
5. Cover garlic and bake for 40-50 minutes or until garlic is soft and golden brown.
6. Remove garlic from oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle a little salt over roasted garlic then simply squeeze the base of the garlic to remove the soft flesh.
7. Store garlic by placing it in a jar, cover with olive oil and refrigerate for no more than one week.
