How to do:

·         Preheat your oven to around 160°C upper and lower heat

·         Remove the dry skin from each garlic head leaving on only the last skin of each individual clove

·         Remove the centre stalk and cut off the tips of each clove using a knife. If the cloves are evenly arranged you can remove them with a long cut using a big kitchen knife, otherwise use a small knife and cut off each tip individually

·         Place all the heads into your baking pan, drizzle with good olive oil and season with salt and cracked pepper

·         Bake in the oven for about 30 min or until the cloves are soft

·         No need to cover the cloves, just have an eye on them for the last 10 min, if the desired color is achieved remove the upper heat and continue till all cloves are soft

·         Remove the baking tin and set to cool

·         Once the garlic is cooled down remove the single cloves using a small knife, place them in a glass jar, add some more salt and pepper if wanted and fill up with olive oil till all cloves are covered

·         Store in the fridge
