Ingredients
- 4 Garlic heads
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Remove the papery outer layers of the garlic heads, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic heads to expose the tops of the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Place each garlic head on a square of aluminum foil and drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each, ensuring the oil seeps into the cloves.
Step 5
Season each garlic head evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Top each garlic head with a sprig of fresh thyme.
Step 7
Wrap each garlic head tightly in the foil, creating a sealed packet.
Step 8
Place the wrapped garlic heads directly on the oven rack and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before carefully opening the foil packets.
Step 10
Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins before serving. Enjoy as a spread on low-carb bread, mixed into sauces, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
