Roasted garlic
Roasted garlic is garlic that has been cooked in the oven until golden brown and caramelized. It has a milder and slightly sweet flavor compared to raw garlic, making it a popular ingredient in various dishes like mashed potatoes, pasta, and spreads. It’s also easy to make at home by drizzling whole garlic bulbs with olive oil and seasoning, then roasting them until soft and fragrant.
