Baked Garlic Pods

All are aware of the innumerable health benefits of Garlic.
The best part of baking garlic is, it loses it's strong smell and it tastes yummy. I had this in an Italian restaurant and couldn't wait to come home and try it out.

Three Pods of Garlic
A tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A tbsp of mixed Italian herbs
A tsp of rock salt
Preheat the oven at 180 deg C for ten minutes
Cut the heads of the garlic till the top of the cloves are exposed.
Place the garlic pods on an alluminium foil
Spray olive oil on the pods, sprinkle salt and the mixed herbs.
Fold the foil gently n once done it should resemble a chocolate with a wrapper.
Place this in the oven and bake for 35 minutes
Check if the pods have softened by pressing a tong on the foil.
If done remove and let it cool before opening the wrap, or else bake for another five minutes.
Serve warm with bread. The kitchen smells so good when the garlic is being baked.
