Easiest way to roast garlic: preheat oven to 380, cut the top of a head of garlic off, place in tin foil, drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper, fold in tin foil to make a packet, and cook for 35-60 min. Cool, and then you can squeeze each clove out. For this recipe, cook less time so the cloves remain whole. To just make roasted garlic (paste) cook 60. Can make with as many foil packets of garlic as you want, keeps for a week in the fridge.
