4. Set each head of garlic in the center of one of the pieces of foil
5. Drizzle a few teaspoons of olive oil over the exposed part of each head and rub the oil all over the outside
6. You can also spray the head with olive oil cooking spray but definitely pour some good olive oil into the cut cloves
