Roasted Garlic Recipe
Roasted garlic is a simple yet transformative kitchen staple that adds sweet, melodious taste to different types of dishes. Unlike raw garlic, which is sharp and pungent, cares for cloves to roast garlic in the oven, which gives them a soft, butter texture and a darker, walnut taste. This roasted garlic recipe is perfect for spreading on bread, mixing in sauce, or mixing in mashed potatoes and soup. Creating garlic, olive oil and a bulb of foil is incredibly easy. The result is a rich, aromatic component that elevates any charming food.
