Ah, the smell!

I'm roasting garlic (I frequently roast heads of garlic, then freeze the cloves in little packets so always have roasted garlic on hand) and it smells SO GOOD!! I may have to put some on the left over pizza I'm having for dinner!

Okay - this is very intriguing - but I'm having a hard time visualizing this - can you describe more?

Do you peel the garlic bulb and separate out the cloves, then put them in foil? It doesn't seem right that you would want to try to peel them after they are all roasted....

What oven temperature would be best?

I love garlic - this sounds like something I would totally be able to use in *everything*

No, the head is in one piece. I peel away some of the excess skin first though after chopping the top off to expose the cloves in the skin, and use a little knife to cut off the tops of the cloves farther down the clove. You roast the whole head, and then afterwards pull out the cloves with a small fork. They sort of slide right out for the most part.

Errr.... I usually do around 375.

wow...ok - I would totally have done it wrong :)

thanks! I'll have to try this in January!
