Peel the outer layer of the bulb, leaving the cloves intact. Using a sharp knife, trim off just enough of the top so that cloves are showing in their individual cases. Place the bulb, cut side up, onto a small piece of foil. Drizzle the oil over and let it soak in for one minute. Now, remove the cloves from the base, keeping them in their skins. Toss with the oil, wrap them up in the foil and bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 min, or until soft. Let cool before using.
