- Take off as much of the white garlic husk as you can without having the bulbs fall apart..
- Do not cut any portion of the garlic bulbs. Leave them completely in tact. Place on tinfoil and gently pull up the sides to create a tinfoil bowl..
- Add about 1/4 cup Olive Oil to each garlic bulb inside the tinfoil. Don't overfill..
- Add a pinch of Sea Salt, Rosemary and Thyme to the tops of your oil coated garlic bulb..
- Wrap bulb up tightly in tinfoil and double wrap garlic bulb with tinfoil..
