Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut 1/2 inch of the bulb top off and discard. Place bulb, bottom side (root end) down, on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle the olive oil on to the cut end. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and wrap up the foil around it.
Place foil packet, bulb bottom side down, on oven rack and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil packet, let cool enough to handle the bulb without burning yourself and then squeeze the garlic meat out of each clove. You can then use the cloves whole or mash them.
