Ingredients

• 2–3 heads of garlic, cloves peeled
• 150–200 ml olive oil (enough to cover the garlic)

• thyme
• rosemary
• sea salt
• Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• ciabatta or crusty bread

1. Heat the oven to 120°C / 250°F. Put peeled garlic in a small ovenproof dish.
2. Cover the cloves fully with olive oil and add chili, thyme and rosemary.
3. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, until the garlic is soft and golden; the oil should not boil.
