Roasted Garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the pointed top of the garlic bulb, down about a ½ inch, exposing the cloves. Put the garlic head in a small ovenproof dish. Pour olive oil over the top of each bulb and let it sink in between the cloves. Cover and bake 45 minutes – 1 hour or until cloves are browned at the exposed end and soft throughout. Allow garlic to cool and squeeze out cloves to use.
