When roasted, the flavor and texture of garlic transforms remarkably. The pungent spiciness of raw garlic turns to a caramelized, nutty, and buttery treat with just the addition of just olive oil and heat from your grill. Roasted garlic can be used as an ingredient – a perfect addition to mashed potatoes, pasta dishes, pizza, and sandwiches – or simply spread it on crusty bread as you would a good soft cheese.
