Put a bulb into a small dish and pour a little olive oil over the top (not to deep fry it, just a little to sprinkle over the top).
Put it in the oven at 350 deg F for about 40-50 minutes. Then you can squeeze the cloves into, or over, whatever you like.
Preperation time 30 seconds!

Excerpt. Let me talk about Allicin. Garlic contains Alliin, which is the chemical precursor to Allicin, and they get converted to Allicin through an enzyme called Alliinase. That happens when you chew garlic; when you break up the cell membrane of the plant cells, the enzyme that is in the cell wall gets released and combines with alliin and then allicin is created within 20 seconds.
Allicin has a half life of 10 days. Any of the garlic products that you buy - garlic oil, kyotic garlic, etc. - there is no allicin left in it. So any prior experience you have had with any garlic products, other than fresh garlic, forget that. Erase that out of your mind ``tried garlic once and it didn't work'' - put that on the side. The only garlic products that have their full allicin-releasing potential left is fresh garlic and freeze-dried garlic.

i am planning to grow raw garlic sprouts and juice them. sprouts frequently contain 10-100x the nutrients of full grown plants. this is because there is an incredible intial burst of energy and nutrition for the seedlings to grow as fast as they can. as fresh as possible, super charged garlic sounds like a good idea to me.
