Step 1

If you are using a ceramic/terra cotta garlic roaster, submerge it in water for 15 minutes before placing it in the oven.

Step 2

Cut the top 1/4" off the garlic bulb(s).

Step 3

Place in the garlic baker or on top of a sheet of aluminum foil.

Step 4

Drizzle with a little olive oil. Add herb sprig, if using.

Step 5

Add the lid or wrap up with foil and place in a cold oven.

Step 6

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes at 350F.

Step 7

Scoop the roasted bulbs out of each shell.

Step 8

Use immediately or store in the fridge covered in a little olive oil for up to 1 week. You can freeze it for longer storage to use in soups. But why would you freeze this goodness?
