Remove the outer leaves from a head of garlic. Separate the cloves, being careful not to break or remove the skin of the clove. Slice the root tip off each clove. Place cloves in a small oven-proof dish. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the cloves. Cover and place in oven to bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from oven; spread cloves on a plate and allow to cool for a few minutes. Squeeze the meat of each clove out into a small dish. Add a bit of olive oil; mash the garlic with a fork and blend in such spices as pepper, salt, basil, and parmesan or romano cheese.
