Recipe Notes

How to roast garlic: Remove the outer layer of the garlic bulb, to expose the cloves in their individual shells. Cut of about 1/4″ of the top of the bulb. Place garlic bulbs on parchment paper squares. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of olive oil on each bulb. Bring the edges of the paper together and close the bulb inside. Place baking sheet in a oven preheated to 400 degrees F. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cloves are soft. Remove sheet from the oven and let the  packets cool until safe to the touch.
