    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

    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

  • SMILINSWEETPEA

    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

    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

  • CURTIOSITY

    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

    ok - 4/7/10

  • CFD32927

    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

  • MADMITCH61

    I absolutely love garlic but never thought about roasting them on their own great tip thanks - 3/20/10

  • SWEETLOST

    Any idea what changes if you try to cook 4-6 cloves at once?
