• Roasted Garlic:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rub off any loose papery skin from the garlic, and trim about a 1/2 inch off the top of each head, to expose the cloves.

Remove foil and bake until the heads are soft and the tops golden brown, another 30 minutes. Allow garlic to cool.

To store the garlic, place it in a container and cover with olive oil. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use skinned roasted garlic to season mashed potatoes, in salad dressings, to flavor and thicken sauces, or on sauteed or roasted vegetables.
