Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
Slice the tops off your heads of garlic so the cloves are exposed (don't slice where the root is - that'll make it harder). I take off about 1/4".
Place the heads of garlic on tin foil (cut side up).
Pour a tablespoon of olive oil over top each head of garlic.
Close the foil up (make sure it's completely closed but do it fairly loosely).
Roast the garlic for an hour or so. It should be golden (with some darker brown bits) and feel soft to the touch, so pop it back in the oven for a little longer if it is a bit tough still. Once it's cooled a bit, I simply use a small, sharp knife to easily pull/slide the cloves out. You could also squeeze the garlic head with your hands to get the cloves out in one go if you're not worried about the cloves being somewhat intact.

Notes

Use it in salad dressings, sauces, hummus, dips, spread directly on bread, or anything else you can think of. Garlic will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days at least.
