If you’ve never roasted a head of garlic, it’s a great thing to try. One garlic clove has only about 5 calories, a trace of fat and less than 1 milligram of sodium, so it makes a great seasoning. Roasting it dulls the flavor, but also makes it more rich. I love using roasted garlic to season rice dishes and mashed sweet potatoes. It’s even good when rubbed on bread to add more flavor to sandwiches. I roast a head when I have time, then squeeze the pulp into an airtight plastic container and store it in my refrigerator (for up to a week) so it’s ready to use when I want it.
