Want to be daring and try something new? Give these a try. This was my first taste of Chayotes and I love them. They have a light fresh taste, a bit sweet and the texture somewhere between a squash and a pear. This includes directions to prepare them in advace.

Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 head garlic (outer paper leaves discarded but bulb left intact)
1-2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cut the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). Place garlic bulb in a ramekin, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
  • Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and into a small dish. Mash with a fork and use as desired.
