Roasted Garlic

6 whole garlic bulbs
2 tbs olive oil
salt, to taste

Preheat oven to 375°.

Turn the whole bulb of garlic on its side, and with a sharp knife, cut off the top third of the bulb. Be sure to cut the top (pointed end), and not the bottom (flat, root end).

Place each whole garlic on a piece of foil, about 8-inches square, with the cut-side up. Drizzle one tsp of olive oil over the cut surface, and sprinkle with salt.

Draw up the foil and wrap the garlic to seal (the bulbs will look like chocolate kisses when wrapped).

Place in a baking dish and roast for 45 to 60 min, depending on size until the garlic is soft and golden-brown.

Remove from foil and serve. The cloves will pop right out of the paper skin when squeezed.  Makes 6 bulbs ready to spread on crusty bread, crackers, lobster, steak, oh my!
