Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the garlic head cut-side up on a small square of foil, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and wrap tightly. Set on a baking sheet and roast for 40–45 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden, completely soft, and fragrant. Unwrap and let cool for 10 minutes, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and set aside.

While the garlic roasts, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
