Remove any excess papery skin from garlic head, keeping cloves intact.
Use a sharp knife to cut ¼ to ½-inch from top of garlic head, exposing cloves.
Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle cut garlic with oil, then use fingers to rub oil into garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Wrap garlic with foil, then bake until garlic cloves are soft and browned, about 40 to 50 minutes.
Set aside garlic until cool enough to handle, then squeeze garlic from skins.
Use immediately, or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
