Baked Garlic: Recipes for Sweet, Mellow Flavor

Baking garlic transforms its pungent, sharp notes into a sweet, mellow, and deeply aromatic profile. The cloves become tender and spreadable, losing their raw bite and gaining a complex depth ideal for a range of applications. This simple preparation method unlocks a new dimension of flavor, making garlic a star ingredient rather than just a background note.
