Use roasted garlic instead of butter! Great way to add flavour using less fat and calories! Great on sandwiches, on baked potatoes and grilled cheese sanwiches (on the inside, not the outside). I add this to mashed potatoes, hummus and corn on the cob. Let's just say I try to slather anything I can with this garlicky goodness! LOL
MORE INFORMATION:
To make roasted garlic... Cut top off garlic bulb. Pour over about 1 tsp olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt. Wrap in foil. Bake in oven about 45 mins at 400 degrees. Garlic will be ready when cloves are browned and soft. ENJOY!
