Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- 3 whole-wheat pita breads
- sea salt, to taste
Make it step by step
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice off the top of the garlic head evenly, cutting off a thin slice of the cloves themselves. Leave the root end intact. Do not peel. Place the garlic head in a baking pan and drizzle about 1/2 tbs of the olive oil over it. Bake for 30 minutes. After approximately 15 minutes, drizzle about another 1/2 tbs oil over the garlic to keep it moist. (You should use about 1 tbs or less).
- To prepare the pita toasts, split each pita into 2 disks, then stack the disks on top of each other and cut into quarters. Spread them on a baking sheet and place in the oven with the garlic. Bake for 4 minutes, or until crisp.
- Serve the toasts and garlic together. Season with salt if desired and a few drops of the oil.
