- Arrange the bulbs cut-side up in a small cast iron pan, glass baking dish, or 8” cake pan.
- Tuck the herbs around the bulbs.
- Drizzle the canola oil over top of garlic until the bulbs are submerged halfway in the oil. Sprinkle the salt over the top. Cover tightly with foil.
- Roast for 30 minutes, covered. Remove the foil, roast an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until bulbs are rich brown and garlic has softened. Cool completely at room temp.
