cooking). The head of garlic can be separated, the cloves left unpeeled
and just crushed with the blade of a knife, or sliced.
Spread some olive oil into a large roasting pan add the vegetables, herbs and spices.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss them lightly so that the olive oil covers most pieces.
