Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 55 minutes 

Ingredients:

4-5 extra-large heads of garlic 

1 cup of olive oil

Several sprigs of fresh thyme 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 F (177 C).

1. Chop the tops off of each head of garlic and discard. 

2. Arrange closely together in a shallow baking dish.

3. Pour olive oil over each clove until it is about 1” high in the baking dish.

4. Arrange thyme around the garlic.

5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

6. Remove the foil and increase the heat to 400 F (205 C).
