Roasted garlic is just one of those things that are great to keep on hand. It can be added to a lot of things to really kick them up. Boring mayonnaise? Add a bit of garlic and make a great sandwich super! Boring burger? Add some more, either by mixing it into the patties when you make them, or just put a big ole dollop (or mix with a little mayonnaise) on top just before you serve them!
Roasted garlic is also fantastic in my roasted garlic salad dressing. There are so many uses for it that I recommend making several heads at once. Just substitute it for ‘regular’ garlic in any dish.
