Roasted garlic

I love garlic big time, and roasted garlic a little bit more. It's great for so many reasons: it's easy! It makes you feel fancy! It makes your house smell delicious! You can make a lot all at once! It's so easy that there's not really anything to write about it—and yet it feels like there should be a lot because it's so fantastic. So, just make it. You'll be happy.

Roasted garlic

6-10 heads of garlic
olive oil
fresh thyme—optional. Rosemary would be great too.
salt, pepper


Put your oven to 325º.

Cut off the tops of the heads of garlic and peel away any extra skin(s). Put them in a baking dish, drizzle each one with a little olive oil, sprinkle thyme, salt, and pepper over them.

Fill baking dish with water until it goes halfway up the dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake 1 hour, or more, until garlic is soft and squishy. Done and done.
