Ingredients

1 large head of garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the outside layer of paper from the garlic bulb, but keep the bulb intact with all of the cloves still connected.
Use a knife to cut about ¼” off the top of the bulb, leaving a flat top surface and exposing the insides of the cloves.
Place the cut bulb in the cavity of a muffin pan.
Drizzle the bulb with the olive oil, then place aluminum foil loosely around the top of the bulb.
Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the top turns brown and the garlic is soft.
