1. 1!Roasted Garlic (Optional)
2. 2If using garlic, preheat oven to 400º. Peel off the loose, flaky skin from the bulb. Chop off about 1/4" from the top of the garlic bulb – this will expose the cloves. Place the bulb on a piece of foil large enough to wrap it. Drizzle olive oil over top, letting it seep into the cloves. Wrap the bulb tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40-60 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Use a spoon to scrape out the soft roasted garlic.
