Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel off some of the papery wrapper until you can see the individual cloves–no need to take the head apart. Cut off the top of the garlic so that you can see the exposed cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake for 30 or 35 minutes, until the garlic is soft. The cloves will pop right out when they’re done; they go great spread on bread with olive oil or salt or added to other roasted veggies.
Or, for a slightly faster method–Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Break the heads apart into cloves but don’t peel them. Spread them out on a pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake, shaking the pan occaisionally, for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
