Ingredients

  • 12 garlic cloves (about 1 head), unpeeled

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, plus more for the vegetables
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup, optional
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin cumin (for a more intense flavor, you may want to toast whole cumin over medium heat until aromatic, then pulverize it in a mortar)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
  • 1 tablespoon salt, plus more for the vegetables
