How to roast garlic
Roast
It's National Garlic Day! Although to be honest, I think every day is garlic day! Garlic is a great addition to many different dishes, like Garlic Basil Shrimp or Honey Garlic Chicken, but it is great on its own too. One of the simplest and most delicious ways to prepare it is just popping it in the oven and roasting it. Once roasted there are any number of ways to use it - you can squeeze it out of the bulb and spread over fresh warm bread, mix it with butter for garlic bread, top a baked potato, add it to pasta or bring an ordinary Grilled Cheese sandwich up a notch by rubbing the outside of the finished sandwich with the roasted clove. If the wonderful taste isn't enough for you, garlic has many health benefits too. It's low in calories, rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Manganese and seems to help prevent and/or reduce the severity of illnesses like the flu and common cold. Garlic also improves blood pressure, lowers cholesterol and may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and osteoarthritis. So be like Emeril Lagasse and add as many cloves of garlic to a recipe that you want. Just make sure everyone eats the same
