How to make Roasted garlic; it’s so easy! You’ll want to make roasted garlic often to add great flavour to so many recipes such as dressings, veggies and sauces.
Roasting garlic mellows the flavour of garlic and brings out a rich caramel taste. I roasted up some fresh garlic for my delicious Perfect Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. An important tip when roasting garlic – do not burn the garlic as it becomes very bitter and unpleasant tasting. My cast iron frying pan is perfect to use for making roasted garlic.

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
