Roasted Garlic

Roasted garlic often falls into the category of "So good, but never think to make it".  Every time I've ever had it I always love it. This is the time of year where entertaining is at it's highest point, so it's fun to pull something like this out of it's forgotten corner and to give guests a little treat.  

I personally love garlic anyway, but the sweetness that roasting it produces gives it a flavor that is just like no other.  There's a million things you can do with it, but most people really enjoy it on bread, either mixed with butter and toasted of just smeared on a fresh slice of bread.  It's amazing when used in salsa, mixed in with mashed potatoes, tossed with vegetables, etc.  The list is never ending.  Try it, saveur it, share it...you just might want to refrain from kissing afterwards ;)
