🌿 What You Need:

• Any amount of whole garlic heads you want to roast

• 1 teaspoon of olive oil per head

• 2 muffin tins (standard size)

---

🍴 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Slice each garlic head in half horizontally (so you expose the cloves).

3. Place each half cut-side up into separate muffin tin cups.

4. Drizzle about 1 tsp of olive oil over each garlic head, rubbing it lightly into the cloves.

5. Place the second muffin tin upside down on top of the first to form a "lid."

6. Roast in the oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.

7. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted cloves out and use in recipes, on bread, or eat straight off the spoon (no judgment).
