Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Let cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic into a bowl and mash until smooth.
