Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, toss the garlic with some of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the garlic on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

In a mini-food processor, fitted with a metal blade, puree the garlic until smooth. Drizzle in enough olive oil to make the mixture spread-able. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The paste will keep for up to 1 week.
