1 Garlic Bulb

ROASTED GARLIC
By Christopher Ranch    
To prepare: Cut the tip (1/4" to 1/2") off several whole Christopher Ranch California Garlic 
bulbs and then gently remove loose outer layers of skin, slightly exposing the individual 
unpeeled cloves, but leaving the bulbs intact. Place bulbs cut side up in baking pan 
leaving a little space between each bulb. If desired, drizzle all with olive oil and sprinkle 
with salt, pepper and favorite herbs or seasonings. Fill baking pan with enough water to 
just cover the bottom of the pan (1/4"). Seal pan with aluminum foil and bake at 425º for 
45 to 60 minutes or until garlic cloves are very soft.

If using a clay baker:  Soak pot and lid in water 10 to 15 minutes. Place prepared (as 
above) garlic bulbs in baker, cover and place in a COLD oven, then set at 400º. Bake for 
about 60 minutes. With an oven mitt, remove the cover and set it down on a cloth pad or 
non-metal trivet. (Baker can break when subjected to a temperature change.) Test garlic 
for doneness by scooping out one of the cloves with a fork. It should be soft and 
spreadable. If not, bake for 15 to 30 minutes more. For clay baker in microwave: Prepare 
baker and garlic as above. Cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool.
To serve:  Break clove off bulb and squeeze pulp onto slice of French bread, crackers or 
crostini. Top with a dab of Rosemary Feta Dip and enjoy! One bulb will serve 1 or 2 garlic 
lovers as an appetizer.
