Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
- Wearing protective gloves, halve chayotes lengthwise and discard seeds. Peel, then cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges. Toss with oil and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Divide between 2 large 4-sided sheet pans.
- Roast 45 minutes. Divide garlic between pans, then continue to roast, turning occasionally, until chayotes are golden brown on edges, about 10 - 15 minutes more. Season with salt.
- Cooks' note:
- Chayotes can be roasted 5 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered with foil, at room temperature. Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven (about 15 minutes).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Cut the top 1/2 inch from garlic bulb (straight across the top so you cut into just the tops of the cloves). Place garlic bulb in a ramekin, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes or until garlic is very soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and into a small dish. Mash with a fork and use as desired.
