Roasted Garlic for great garlic bread

This has got to be one of the easiest recipes in here. Roasted garlic makes great garlic bread, it's an easy addition to sandwiches and salad - it's just great to have around.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Break apart a few heads of garlic into individual heads (leave them unpeeled). Drizzle a little olive oil over them, then wrap in tinfoil.

Roast for 30 minutes. Shake the foil packet a few times during roasting to prevent uneven baking. Don't bother making this a special bake time - throw some garlic in anytime you're baking lasagna, baked potatoes, etc. I'd leave them out when you're baking brownies, however! You don't want to bake the garlic with anything you wouldn't want to eat it with.

Let cool - then peel. They keep for a week or two in a airtight container in the fridge.

Toss in a salad, on top of a burger, or just spread on French bread, drizzle melted butter over them, and toast in the oven! Great stuff.
