A Healthier Garlic Bread
Who doesn't love garlic bread? The trouble is, it's usually chock-full of artery clogging saturated fat. You can make your own healthier, low fat version by simply roasting a head of garlic and spreading the pulp on a whole grain baguette.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Take two heads of garlic and remove the papery outer layer
Slice approximately half an inch off the top of each head to expose the cluster of cloves
Place garlic, cut side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin oil on top of each head of garlic
Bring up sides of foil and seal the garlic, or, if using a baking dish, cover it.
Roast for 40-45 minutes Allow to cool, then separate cloves and squeeze them to make a pulp. Mash until smooth.
Spread pulp on warmed or toasted baguette
For a creamier texture, you could blend garlic pulp with some softened
fat-free cream cheese.
