Directions
Prepare your oven by preheating it to 400°F (200°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top ¼ inch of each garlic bulb, just enough to expose the tops of the individual cloves.
Place each prepared garlic bulb onto its own square of aluminum foil, ensuring the foil is large enough to fully encase it.
Generously drizzle the exposed cloves with oil, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Place a sprig of fresh thyme on top of each bulb.
Tightly wrap each bulb in its foil packet.
Arrange the packets on a small, rimmed baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until the cloves are deeply golden, fork-tender, and your kitchen smells absolutely divine.
Roast garlic in a muffin tin or a small, oven-safe dish with a lid as an alternative to using individual aluminum foil packets.
