Roasted garlic cloves are a flavorful and nutritious addition to a variety of dishes, originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made by slow-roasting whole garlic bulbs until the cloves turn soft and caramelized, the process enhances their natural sweetness, mellows the pungency, and creates a rich, buttery texture. Packed with antioxidants, roasted garlic supports immune health and heart health, thanks to its beneficial compounds like allicin, though these are less concentrated after cooking. It’s low in calories and offers trace amounts of essential minerals like manganese, selenium, and vitamin B6. Roasting garlic eliminates its raw acridity, making it gentle on the digestive system for most individuals. However, consuming garlic in excess may cause gastrointestinal issues for sensitive individuals. Versatile and wholesome, roasted garlic cloves can be enjoyed as a spread, mixed into pastas, or used to enhance soups and sauces.
