Roasted Garlic
VegetarianSlow-roasted garlic cloves become impossibly sweet, mellow, and spreadably soft.
Roasting transforms sharp, pungent raw garlic into tender, golden cloves with a sweet, nutty, and deeply mellow flavor. Squeezed from their papery skins and scattered across pizza, roasted garlic cloves add a gentle, caramelized sweetness completely unlike the harshness of raw garlic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you roast garlic for pizza?
Cut the top off a whole head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until golden and soft. Squeeze out the cloves and spread them on pizza.
Is roasted garlic milder than raw garlic?
Dramatically so. Roasting converts garlic sharp, sulfurous compounds into gentle, sweet, caramelized sugars. Roasted garlic has a mellow, nutty sweetness with none of the raw bite.
