How to Roast Garlic
Cut the top 1/4 inch (6 mm) off each whole head of garlic. Place each head on a piece of foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Twist foil around each head to enclose completely.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) until soft, about 30 - 45 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic out of skins and puree.
One roasted garlic head yields about 2 tbsp (25 mL) mashed garlic pulp.
Roasted garlic puree may be frozen for up to one month.
