Instructions: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place the garlic in a small baking dish, and toss with the oil and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil; bake until the garlic is tender (squeeze one of the cloves to check), 25 to 35 minutes.

Press garlic out of its skin into a bowl; mash with a fork. Set aside until ready to use.

Makes 4 tablespoons.
