Slow Roasted Garlic Bulb

Yum! If you're a garlic lover, I definitely recommend making this recipe. Dh and I love garlic. I don't like it as much as he does but we still enjoy it together. That's definitely a plus, since you don't want to be the only one with bad garlic breath. It's also good for you health. Garlic has many uses and it is sometimes labeled as the herbal "wonder drug." Some benefits includes preventing the common cold or flu and also acting as an antibiotic and fighting certain bacterias. On the same note, I decided to roast some garlic bulbs.

There are many uses. You can spread it on breads for added flavor as well as using it in pastas and any other dishes. I adapted this easy online recipe.

Time needed: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

Garlic Bulbs (3 or 4)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup of water
*salt to taste (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove as much of the paper from 2 whole heads of garlic as you can without breaking apart the cloves.
Place garlic heads in 1/4 cup water in a small baking dish.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Cover with aluminum foil or baking dish cover.
Put into oven and baste with olive oil/water mixture after 30 minutes.
Bake until garlic is soft and easily pierced with a thin-bladed knife, about 1 hour total cooking time.

Yum, it turned out really easy. I had some crackers in our pantry and decided to spread a few cloves on each. I can still taste the garlic.Be sure to spend extra time brushing your teeth the next morning. Enjoy!
