Elephant garlic has a much milder flavor than the regular garlic most commonly sold in markets. Garlic burns easily when being cooked in oil. Cook at most until golden brown, for after that it develops a very bitter flavor. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the top of the garlic head and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Cool completely, then squeeze out the garlic pulp.
Roasted garlic is a great ingredient with lots of uses.
It's also a wonderful low fat bread spread.
