Roasted Garlic

Roasted garlic makes for an excellent addition to any savory dish you can possibly imagine. It is creamy, buttery, sweet, and bursting with flavor. Not only is it delicious, but it is filled with vitamins and antioxidants - perfect for anyone looking to boost their immune system. Enjoy it in dips, mashed potatoes, salad dressing, a slice of pizza, or on a plain piece of toast - you really can't go wrong!

Ingredients

•40 cloves fresh peeled garlic*

•1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

•Sea salt, to taste

•1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Place the garlic on a sheet of non-stick aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, and top with the rosemary sprig.

3. Place in the preheated oven, and cook until soft and starting to brown, about 45 minutes. (Note: Store leftover roasted garlic in the refrigerator.)

*Buy fresh, peeled garlic in the produce section at the grocery store. To double the recipe, just add another teaspoon of olive oil before roasting.
