Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Spread

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• Ground black pepper to taste
• Salt to taste (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place garlic cloves on prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Fold aluminum foil tightly around garlic.

Roast garlic in the preheated oven until soft and fragrant, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove garlic from aluminum foil and transfer to a bowl.

Mash garlic, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt together with a fork until spread has a uniform, paste-like consistency.
