Roasted Garlic Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 large garlic head
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp olive oil

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut a medium square of aluminum foil.

Cut a slice off the top of the garlic just to expose the top of the cloves. Put the garlic in the center of the foil. Top with the rosemary sprig. Pour the broth and olive oil over the garlic.

Bring all four corners of the foil together and twist to seal. Place on a small baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour until the garlic is soft.

To eat: Open the foil. Put the garlic on a small dish. Peel a clove away from the bulb. Squeeze the garlic from its skin and spread on bread, potatoes, pasta, vegetables, and more!

This recipe yields 10 servings. Serving size: 2 cloves.

Exchanges Per Serving: Free Food.

Comments: Get the heart-healthy benefits of garlic in a more subtle way than just eating raw garlic. Roasting garlic will mellow its strong taste so you can eat more of it. You don't even need special garlic bakers to make this.

“That's something I've noticed about food: whenever there's a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
