Ingredients

  • 1 garlic bulb
  • 1/2 T olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • Place bulbs on a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to completely cover the garlic bulb, sealing it. 
  • Pour about a 1/2 tablespoon of oil on the bulb, and sprinkle with about a 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • Roast in a 350º oven for about 30 minutes.
