Roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the garlic is soft. Cool until it is easy to handle. Squeeze the soft garlic out of the skin. : Variation: Mix the roasted garlic with 3 cups cooked white beans. Process in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a spicier spread. :
