This looks so good-have to try soon! - 4/25/17
I will be trying that tonight. - 3/31/17
I need to try this. - 4/14/16
Great timing, Sparkpeople!I've been thinking about roasted garlic for days! - 4/14/16
I wrap several bulbs with aluminum foil and drizzle on the olive oil, let it spill over. When the garlic cooks the oil will turn into garlic infused oil so don't toss it. The garlic oil is delicious to use when making a stir fry. It goes rancid quickly so refrigerate and use it within 5 days. - 4/11/16
Never did it like this before. Hope to try it soon thank you. - 2/27/16
Tried this and made me appreciate the simplicity of using garlic. - 11/12/15

Love garlic! Thanks Chef Meg. - 5/27/15
Sounds great! - 2/22/15
I love the taste of roasted garlic, it does make food taste so different. Can anyone tell me if you can roast the garlic and then freeze it. How will it do if it is frozen. - 2/11/15
Roasted garlic is great. I learned to do this by wrapping the garlic in tin foil first. I think I'll try it without the tin foil next time. - 1/23/15
I've got to try this! Sounds yummy! - 5/15/14

Feeling annoyed:- After 4 attempts, I FINALLY got the video to play! This is what happens on a regular basis when I try to watch any of the videos on SparkPeople. No, it is NOT my internet connection! Anyway, I love garlic and use it all the time as a seasoning. - 1/30/14

Yummy!! Thanks Chef Meg. - 6/15/13
I do this a lot when roasting other vegetables.
just love it! - 3/13/13
I roast garlic in a small, lidded Pyrex baking dish, fitting in as many heads -tops cut off- as possible. Add good olive oil by the tablespoon, keeping count. garlic infused oil left over is fabulous long after garlic has been used up - total the calories and divvy it up. The oil freezes well. - 3/7/13

To roast without oil, just roast dry, it is still very good. - 3/7/13

I just love these quick & easy tips from Chef Meg! Thank you, thank you!! - 3/5/12
That is so super simple. The way I've been doing it takes more time and more oil, but this seems to be healthier. - 10/23/11
I roast about 10-15 cloves in a little olive oil and eat it fresh with smashed avocado spritzed with lemon...So good and SO healthy! - 2/6/11

Yummmmmm! - 8/21/10
Thanks great tip. I am going to try it tonight. - 8/4/10
ok - 4/7/10
roasted garlic is so less pungent than eating regular. You can cook 4-10 of them in the same pan. It's great to spread on a pizza shell and make a white pizza, low fat cheese, chicken, etc - 3/20/10
I absolutely love garlic but never thought about roasting them on their own great tip thanks - 3/20/10
Any idea what changes if you try to cook 4-6 cloves at once?
