Simple, step-by-step instructions

Roasting garlic in the oven mellows it into a slightly sweet, nutty spread that has the consistency of butter. Spread it on French bread for an appetizer or add it to dips, spreads, mashed potatoes, sauces, and soups.

1. To roast garlic, remove the white papery skin from the garlic head (do not peel or separate cloves).

2. Wrap each head separately in aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour; let cool 10 minutes.

3. Separate cloves, and squeeze to extract pulp.
