For an even deeper flavor, try adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to the baking dish during roasting.
Roasted garlic can be easily mashed and added to mashed potatoes, soups, or sauces for a rich, savory boost.
Experiment with different oils, such as avocado or grapeseed oil, for subtle variations in flavor.
To peel individual cloves quickly, submerge them in hot water for a few minutes before peeling. The skins should slip right off.
