Baked garlic is a simple yet flavorful ingredient with roots in Mediterranean cuisine. Made by roasting whole garlic bulbs in the oven until soft and caramelized, it transforms sharp raw cloves into creamy, spreadable goodness with a mildly sweet taste. Its rich flavor complements dishes like bread, vegetables, meats, and sauces. Nutritionally, garlic is known for its health benefits—it contains allicin, a compound linked to improved heart health and immune support, along with antioxidants and vitamins C and B6. Baking garlic mellows its pungency and reduces some of its raw nutritional potency, but it remains a low-calorie option packed with flavor. However, pairing it with large amounts of butter, oil, or salt may diminish its healthfulness, so moderation is key when incorporating it into meals. Whether used as a seasoning or a standalone snack, baked garlic is a versatile option for health-conscious cooking.
