    Roasting mellows the flavor of the garlic and brings out a rich caramel taste. I use it in my Perfect Mashed Potatoes and Tomato Soup with Roasted Garlic and Basil.  In a very short time, the kitchen will have a sensational, aromatic smell.

    Tips for Roasting Garlic

    • Do not burn the garlic! Burnt garlic tastes very bitter and unpleasant.
    • A cast-iron frying pan works perfectly for roasting garlic in the oven.
    • Use fresh heads of garlic that aren't dried up at all.
    • I only use olive oil, helping to give the garlic that great caramelized flavor.
    • You can freeze this garlic, so roast several at once.
    • Roasting time may vary a bit depending on the size of the garlic head. Garlic should be soft and a nice golden color.

      I did it! I used muffin tins in the past, but this seriously worked, thanks for the idea! I use a small amount of oil of your choice, either olive or other oil! Thank you for this idea...Lea
