📝 Preparation Steps
1
To roast whole garlic bulbs:
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove outer papery layers of garlic bulb, leaving the skins in tact and cloves attached.
3
Using a sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch to a 1/2 inch off the top of the bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil (I like about 2 tablespoons olive oil per head of garlic).

4
Wrap the individual heads of garlic tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet. Or, place the individual heads in a muffin tin and wrap tightly in foil.
5
Roast for 30 to ⏱️ 60 minutes depending on your preference, checking the cloves at ⏱️ 30 minutes. The roasted garlic is done when it caramelized in color and the cloves are very soft and can be pieced easily with a knife.
6
To roast peeled individual garlic cloves:
7
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a small baking dish or pie plate with foil. Arrange peeled garlic cloves in the middle of the foil and drizzle completely with olive oil.

To roasted unpeeled individual garlic cloves:

In a dry medium skillet over medium-low heat, toast garlic cloves until spotty, dark brown, and slightly softened, about 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let stand until garlic is completely soft, 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.
