A delicious treat to accompany the Sunday roast (and keep the vampires at bay!) Roasting takes off all the harsh flavours of garlic and leaves you with a sweet flavour explosion.

Steps

30+ minutes (see note)

1

Make this when you have the oven on anyway e.g. to roast some spuds. Place a ramekin (or other oven proof dish) in a hot oven (200C for preference) with some oil.
2

While that's heating up, remove the skin from the cloves. The best way to do this is with a broad-bladed knife - cut just the pointed tips off each clove, and then carefully squash it a little bit with the broad side of the blade. The skin will pretty much come off by itself. (And it's not the end of the world if you miss a bit, is it? :) )
3

Remove the hot ramekin from the oven. Pop in the garlic, stir a bit to coat in the oil, and drizzle over the maple syrup. Return to the oven and roast for about 30 minutes.

Enjoy the aroma of roasting garlic... Then, to serve, you can leave it in the ramekin or dish it up with a Sunday roast - it's all good!
