1   Garlic head (large)
1 section  Fresh rosemary
1/4 cup 59mlFat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon 5mlOlive oil

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut a medium square of aluminum foil.

Cut a slice off the top of the garlic just to expose the top of the cloves. Put the garlic in the center of the foil. Top with the rosemary sprig. Pour the broth and olive oil over the garlic.

Bring all four corners of the foil together and twist to seal. Place on a small baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour until the garlic is soft.

To eat: Open the foil. Put the garlic on a small dish. Peel a clove away from the bulb. Squeeze the garlic from its skin and spread on bread, potatoes, pasta, vegetables, and more!
