• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice the top off of each garlic bulb to expose some of the cloves (between ¼ and ½ inch).
• Place the garlic bulbs on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil over the garlic bulbs, then season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the garlic bulbs. The center garlic cloves should be easily pierced with a toothpick and golden brown when done.
• Allow the garlic bulbs to cool before squeezing the cloves out. Use a small spoon or paring knife if some of the cloves are difficult to remove.

Freezing the Roasted Garlic:

• If you are freezing whole cloves of garlic, spread the cloves out over a baking sheet and place into the freezer. Once the cloves are frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and place back into the freezer until ready for use.
• Alternatively, you can mash the garlic using a fork and freeze in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop the cubes of garlic out in to a zip-top bag or container and place back into the freezer.
