Roasted Garlic

I cooked roasted garlic this weekend, and if can imagine, garlic can be sweet!  If you don't have a garlic roaster, you can wrap the garlic in foil and place in a muffin tin.

Cut off tops of whole garlic cloves.  Remove the outer skins only.  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until brown.  Remove the rest of the skins  and eat whole or may crush and use as a topping.  Yum!
