Roasted Garlic in the oven is simple and makes a wonderful spread on warm sourdough bread, added in Greek yogurt as a dip, mixed in with mashed potatoes and served with any dish, really, if you are a garlic lover.
And for those who are sensitive to garlic, baking it makes it easier on the tummy.
Though, cooking garlic loses some of it’s health benefits so adding a little raw daily too in salad dressing, dips etc…is a great way to get around that for those who are not sensitive to eating raw garlic.
Enjoy making this simple Roasted Garlic!
