Place in a small, unoiled baking dish and add about 1/4 cup water. Tightly cover the dish with foil and bake 45-60 min at 350, until garlic is very soft and golden in colour. Let cool enough to handle, then squeeze garlic out of peels.
If you want, a little extra virgin olive oil can be drizzled over the tops of the heads before roasting, but it is optional.
Really. That's it. Pretty simple, huh? And divine.
Roasted garlic can also be used to flavour sauces (fantastic in Alfredo sauce),dips, other entrees........ or is divine squeezed out onto lightly toasted baguette slices and eaten straight (or with some warmed Camembert and fresh fruit)!
