Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel away the loose, papery outer layers of the garlic bulbs but leave the cloves intact within their skins.
Using a sharp knife, slice about 1/4 inch off the top of each garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves.
Place the garlic bulbs on a sheet of aluminum foil, cut-side up.
Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the exposed cloves are well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic with salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Fold the aluminum foil around the garlic bulbs to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil packet on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly before handling.
To use, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins or scoop them out with a small spoon. Serve as a spread, mix into mashed potatoes, or stir into sauces.
