Using sharp knife, poke small hole in bottom of each bell
pepper. Place on foil-lined baking sheet. Peel garlic cloves and
place in single layer on 10-inch piece of foil. Drizzle garlic with
1 t olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 t salt. Fold foil around garlic to
totally encase and form flat packet. Place foil packet on baking
sheet next to peppers. Place under broiler so tops of peppers
are 3 inches from heat source. Roast 15-18 minutes, turning
peppers and foil packet every 5 minutes until blisters form over
entire skins of peppers/ Place peppers in paper bag for 10-15
minutes to steam. Remove and discard stem, skin, and seeds.
