Cut off the stem side to expose the tops of the gloves, pour some EVOO on top, and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in a 350F oven for 1 hour. When it's done you can squeeze out all the cloves from the head.

The garlic gets very mild and sweet this way. I use an entire head for a batch of mashed potatoes or hummus.
