Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Prepare the garlic heads for roasting. Peel the outer papery skins, but leave cloves intact. Slice the tops of the garlic heads off (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from top), leaving the cloves exposed.  Make sure all of the cloves have some portion exposed so that they properly roast.

Step 3

Place each garlic head (exposed garlic surface up) in muffin pan. Drizzle about 2 tsp over each head of garlic, and using your hand, massage oil all over the exposed garlic surface.

Step 4

Cover muffin pan with another muffin pan that is identical in size. Roast in heated oven for 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before handling.

Step 5

When cool enough, push garlic cloves out of their casings and use or store for later. See notes for storage options.
