Roasted Garlic Recipe
Okay, I may will deny this when asked, but this roasted garlic might be a new “habit” I’m taking up.
Really, what’s not to love? It takes barely any work at all and it embodies the savouriness, softness, silky smoothness, warmth and deep aromas that define comfort food.
And the versatility? Smush it up and spread it on toast, throw it into a salad, pasta, risotto, sauce…pretty much anything aside from desserts. And if you insist on incorporating it into a dessert, okay, I will raise an eyebrow but I promise to keep an open mind and try not to judge.
I do feel sorry for Mr. H (and every living being around me), just a little.
Just to get you started, here are a few awesome recipes that you can use this new friend in:
- Shrimp Burgers with Roasted Garlic-Orange Aioli from Food 52
- Tuscan White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup from Skinny Taste
- Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Beer Cheese Dip from The Beeroness
- Blue Cheese and Roasted Garlic Sandwich from Give Me Flour
- Creamy Roasted Garlic Pasta with Spinach & Sausage from Alaska from Scratch
I’m off to brainstorm some more to use this fabulousness!

Do you know if and how you can store the garlic once it is cooked?
Wow what a great question, I hadn’t thought about that it at all, probably because it doesn’t last at my place LOL
I found great instructions at instructables.com: see the link here!
What a great post. I’m glad I asked, lol.
Thanks.
I like to drizzle it with olive oil before wrapping it up. So good! And healthy!
Oh definitely!! That actually gets rid of the burnt ends too!
Thanks for dropping by!
Yum .. I’m tempted to try it out … and use the same technique for onions? I wanna see that!
Ah caramelized onions, what a brilliant idea Jenny!! I should look into this!!!
