Ingredients

2 garlic bulbs, papery outer skins discarded 

2 sprigs thyme 

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Separate garlic cloves (do not peel); arrange with thyme on a small piece of foil. Drizzle with oil. Seal garlic in foil to form a packet.

Roast garlic until soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove garlic from foil, and let cool slightly before using.
