How Do You Make Easy Roasted Garlic?
Think you can’t make fancy roasted garlic? It is incredibly easy, and so tasty! The roasting process mellows the flavor of the garlic, so it’s not as pungent as you might expect.

When the bulbs are cool enough to handle, squeeze each bulb to release the roasted garlic paste from the inside. A butter knife may be helpful in slicin
