Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the head of garlic cut-side up in a small baking dish or on a square of foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, then wrap tightly in foil. Roast for 40–45 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden and completely soft when pressed.

Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a smooth paste with a fork. Set aside.
