This is very easy and made a good emergency fix when I needed roasted garlic quickly, but its more steamed than roasted and the flavor is inferior. I'll use the technique when I need roasted garlic right now as an ingredient among many other ingredients, but I wouldn't use it for making something where the roasted garlic was the star flavor. Also, the texture wasn't as soft as good, roasted garlic so it didn't mash well.

Not quite the sweet, nutty taste to garlic roasted in the oven. As a stand-alone element (on french bread, etc.) it will definitely do in a pinch, but the oven-roasted variety is marginally superior. However, used in recipes, I would never notice- my roasted garlic mashed potatoes turned out beautifully. Yum!
