Preheat oven to 400 F.
Pel away the outer layers of the garlic skin, leaving the cloves intact.
Cut off about 1/2" of the top of the head, exposing all of the tops of the cloves.
Place head on a piece of foil and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Wrap in foil and place in oven 30-35 minutes or until the garlic feels a little soft.
Remove from oven, open foil packet, and let cool.
Squeeze garlic from head onto a cutting board. Don't miss any of the roasted yumminess! Squeeze hard!
Mash the garlic into a paste using the back of your knife, making sure to break up any large chunks.
Store in the fridge until ready to use.
