Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
-
Remove most of the papery skin surrounding the garlic bulbs, but leave the skin on individual cloves so that the bulb remains intact. Using a sharp knife, cut ½ inch off the top of the cloves. Place each bulb on a square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the cloves of each bulb, using your fingers to rub it over the cut surfaces. Wrap the bulbs in the aluminum foil.
-
Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bulbs feel soft. Let cool. Using a spoon, remove the roasted cloves or squeeze them out with your fingers.
