This is not your typical roast garlic, in that I am not roasting the entire head of garlic.
The other day at Costco I happened to see Christopher Ranch California Heirloom MONVISO Peeled Garlic, and I could not believe the price, a 3 pound bag for only 3.99.
I thought this is worth trying, as most of the time I buy fresh garlic and either forget to peel it until it is too late, or it starts sprouting on me before I can get to it. I thought for 3.99 bag this is worth trying. on their website I found this in a recipe to roast the peeled cloves.
Now I have found a new snack, “Roasted Garlic”
Roasted Garlic Soup with Parmesan Crisps
This recipe gives the directions for roasting peeled garlic cloves. Very simple and very easy.
I thought this would be so easy to have and make into garlic mashed potatoes.
You might like to look at their recipe section and the entire website, it is very informative and has great recipes, but I am happy just being able to have the fresh peeled garlic at hand whenever I want or need it., and for such a good price.
Now that’s a great find. I love having fresh garlic available too. Thanks for the website link – gosh they have some wonderful recipes.
You have the added bonus that vampires will stay away!!

Thanks so much for the link to their website! I’m going to try the Garlic Sour Cream chicken marinade this weekend. Sounds yummy!

I’ve done the roasted chicken on a bed of garlic…. best roasted garlic that you can believe, with the chicken fat caramelizing with the garlic…
As usual, thanks for inspiring us Mitchell!
My dad grows garlic and we braid ours and hang it in the stairway to the basement. I like roasting it in olive oil and butter mashing it up and spreading it on Italian bread toast. Of coarse the it’s also real good in garlic smashed potatoes too.
Cathryn, please do and let us know when it’s up. I’d love to see how you make them.
Hi Mitchell,
I like to buy my garlic already minced and in a jar of oil from the grocery store. That way, it’s always ready to go, doesn’t get moldy or dried out and tastes just as good as the fresh. Hubby insists on buying fresh, but then I don’t use that as often and it dries up before I use it all.
Will have to post my original 1988 pattern for weaving garlic baskets out of round reed to my website, soon. Been making and selling both the finished baskets and the pattern for years and many people have made them to sell on etsy, I guess I should too.
The garlic baskets are great, because they keep the garlic fresh for weeks with good air circulation. I hang mine along with the companion onion baskets on the wall near the prep area of my kitchen.
