Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place whole elephant garlic on a cookie sheet, baste with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil and roast or bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until garlic cloves feel soft under gentle pressure.

Let cool to handle. Snip off tip of large cloves with scissors and squeeze garlic out and mash to spread on toast or crackers or to blend with butter or margarine for garlic butter or garlic bread.

Enjoy!
