Ingredients
- 12 heads whole garlic
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Slice the tops off of each head of garlic and place cut side down in a baking pan.
- Add water to the pan to go up about ⅓ of the way up on the garlic heads. Drizzle olive oil over the garlic.
- Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 2½ hours. Keep checking it periodically to check the water level. If the water and oil are gone, it's done. When the garlic is done, it will be a deep caramel brown color.
- After the garlic has cooled, squeeze out all of the garlic cloves into a bowl. You can mash it or leave it as chunky as you like.
