Ingredients
- firm garlic heads, as many as needed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for each head
- salt
- water 
 
Roast garlic has a mellow, toasted taste, definitely garlic, but sweet rather than hot.
 
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350° F (temperature can be 25 degrees higher or lower, if needed, to
    accommodate other food being cooked).
  • Prepare the garlic by removing most of the outer papery
    layers, leaving enough to keep the heads intact. Trim off any roots, and slice off the top 1/4 to
    1/3 of the head, to expose the tops of the individual cloves.
  • Arrange in suitable baking dish.
    Salt lightly and drizzle olive oil over the exposed tops. Add water to come about 1/4" up the sides
    of the heads. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven until cloves are very soft, about
    1 hour.
