Remove some of the dried skins from the garlic; cut the garlic bulbs in half, drizzle with olive oil and lightly salt. Wrap in foil and bake for 40-45 minutes till roasted and soft; remove and cool.
 
 While garlic roasts; fry the bacon till crisp; remove and drain on paper towels. When cool; cut into small pieces.
