Slow-Roasted Garlic image

Adapted from Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. This is the best method for roasting garlic. It creates the smoothest roasted garlic with the best flavor. It enriches and smooths the flavor and it great in just about everything (well, except desserts). Yield depends on the size of your head of garlic. This produces surprisingly little (perhaps 2 tbs the first time I did it), so if you would like a larger quantity you may want to double or triple the recipe.

I love how this recipe uses whole heads of garlic. It's so much easier than peeling and chopping individual cloves.

I followed the recipe exactly and the garlic turned out perfectly roasted. It was soft and spreadable, with a lovely caramelized flavor. I used it to make garlic bread and it was a hit with my family!
