Ingredients

• 4 whole Garlic bulbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Remove any loose, papery outer layers from the garlic bulbs while keeping the bulbs intact and the cloves enclosed.

Step 3

Use a sharp knife to slice about 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic bulb, exposing the tops of the cloves.

Step 4

Place the garlic bulbs cut side up on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring the oil seeps into the cloves. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in the aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet.

Step 6

Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft, golden, and caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the foil packet from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes, or until the garlic is cool enough to handle.

Step 8

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl or food processor.

Step 9

Mash the cloves with a fork or blend in the food processor until smooth. If a thinner consistency is desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and blend until you achieve the desired texture.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The purée is now ready to use or can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
