Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Cut the top of the head of garlic off and place on an 8x8 inch piece of foil.

Drizzle the olive oil all over the garlic and inside as well. Top with salt and pepper.

Wrap the garlic up tightly in the foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until completely tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

Squeeze the cloves out of the garlic head and use in your favorite recipes.
