And perfect for garlic lovers.
Roasting garlic changes the chemical makeup of the garlic so that it’s easier to digest.
For longer storage, place the peeled, roasted cloves in a jar and top with olive oil.

The garlic will keep this way in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Use the mildly flavored olive oil for cooking.
For even longer storage, you’re able to freeze whole heads of roasted garlic or individual cloves.

Arrange peeled, separated cloves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for an hour.
Transfer to an airtight container or bag and freeze.
Either way, the roasted garlic will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer.

What to Make with Roasted Garlic
The uses for roasted garlic are endless!
Mashed, roasted garlic is a delicious addition to salad dressings, sauces, and soups.
Here are some recipes to get you started.

Leave intact the skins of the individual cloves of garlic
This exposes the individual cloves of garlic.
Place the garlic heads in a baking pan, cut side up.
(A muffin pan works great for this, as it keeps the garlic bulbs from rolling around.)
Alison Bickel
Allow the garlic to cool enough so you’re free to touch it without burning yourself.
Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove.
Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.

Eat as is (I love straight roasted garlic) or mash with a fork and use for cooking.
