- Place garlic head on large square of aluminum foil. Pour a drizzle of olive oil over top of exposed cloves, making sure each clove is properly coated. Wrap aluminum foil around garlic head to cover completely. Place on baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until cloves are soft when pressed with a fork. Allow garlic to cool.
- Using your fingers or a cocktail fork, pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their individual skins. Mash with a fork and spread on toasted bread or use as a topping for baked potatoes.
