Roasted garlic has such a wonderfully sweet and mild flavor! Not only does it enhance many recipes as a substitute for raw garlic, but it is awesome when freshly baked and slathered on crusty bread or simply squeezed out of the clove and eaten alone. Another benefit is that it freezes well so you can bake as many bulbs at one time as your heart desires ;-)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut 1/2 inch of the bulb top off and discard. Place bulb, bottom side (root end) down, on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle the olive oil on to the cut end. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and wrap up the foil around it.
Place foil packet, bulb bottom side down, on oven rack and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil packet, let cool enough to handle the bulb without burning yourself and then squeeze the garlic meat out of each clove. You can then use the cloves whole or mash them.
