Timings are based on a good sized whole head of garlic!
Method
- Peel the excess skin of the garlic and slice the top off and expose all the individual heads.
- Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.
- Place the garlic bulb on a sheet of tin foil and drizzle with olive oil and a touch or salt and pepper if desired and wrap the foil to cover the garlic bulb into a baking pouch.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes depending on the size of the bulb. The garlic should be soft and slightly caramelised.
- Once cooked, remove garlic by squeezing the cloves (be careful as they may be hot!) or as we did, use a teaspoon to remove the softened garlic, spread on a Thick Orkney Oatcake and enjoy! :)
