1. Roasted Garlic Spread with Herbs from Take Two Tapas

Make your own Roasted Garlic Spread with fresh herbs and use it to make the most amazing gourmet garlic bread! One of my favorite recipes with Roasted Garlic.

After making a roasted chicken the other day I was left with some fresh herbs. I didn’t want them to go to waste so I chopped them up, along with some roasted garlic cloves that I had leftover from my trip to the olive bar, and added them to a little butter that I had softened on the counter.

2. Homemade Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing from Eating Well

Made with mellow roasted garlic and chicken broth, this creamy dressing is perfect with a simple salad of romaine lettuce and red onion rings or with a main-dish salad.

If you are looking for an appetizer that is simple, elegant, and can be made with minimal effort, give this Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil Bread Dip a try! Who can resist tender roasted garlic swirled with savory herbs and spices? Only vampires. Spread the roasted garlic on some crusty bread like butter & dip away.

4. Roasted Garlic Pesto from Girl Gone Gourmet

Roasting garlic mellows its sharp flavor and is a great way to use up extra heads of garlic hiding in your pantry. Mix it with nuts, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and lemon and you get a roasted garlic pesto that’s perfect for pasta.

Roasting the garlic first mellows its sharpness and gives it a sweet, caramelized flavor that takes pesto to a whole new level. It adds a step but it’s not difficult and the results are delicious, I promise. So, let’s make some, shall we?

5. Roasted Garlic Grilled Cheese from I am Homesteader

A roasted garlic Grilled Cheese is a hearty hot sandwich made with artisan bread, a roasted garlic spread, two kinds of cheese, tomato, and bacon. Try a Air Fryer Grilled Cheese for a simple and easy sandwich.

A Grilled Cheese Sandwich is delicious with a bowl of roasted tomato soup for a meal that is as comforting as it is delicious. But, this Roasted Garlic Grilled Cheese sandwich brings the sandwich up a notch! It’s made with a homemade roasted garlic spread, both Gruyere and mozzarella cheese, crisp bacon, and tomatoes, all grilled on artisan bread.

6. Roasted Garlic Rosemary Chicken Wings from Low Carb Maven

Lemon, garlic & rosemary is a classic combination that is fantastic on whole chicken pieces or even with pork. This time, I decided to use this great flavor combo with chicken wings. To get the best flavor, make sure to marinate the wings for at least two days but overnight is nice, too.

The flavor of these wings is a nice change to the ubiquitous hot-wing style. The flavor, so lemony and garlicky — was so good that I had to give the wings from my own plate to my kids. They just couldn’t get enough and were disappointed when they were all gone!

7. Restaurant-Style Salsa w Roasted Garlic from Once Upon A Chef

The vegetables in this salsa recipe with Roasted Garlic are perfect, intensifying the flavor of the tomatoes, mellowing the onions and garlic, and adding a touch of smokiness.

This bright and spicy roasted tomato salsa recipe with Roasted Garlic is a longtime favorite of mine. It is very different from most salsa recipes with roasted garlic, which are typically made using raw or canned tomatoes. Roasting the vegetables in a high-heat oven intensifies the flavor of the tomatoes, mellows the onions and garlic, and adds a touch of smokiness.

8. Italian Panini Grill Sandwich From T Falusa

Nothing beats an Italian sandwich. Unless it’s an Italian panini sandwich, that is.

17. Roasted Garlic Labneh from Britney Breaks Bread

Labneh is a tangy strained cheese originating in the Middle East. Made with yogurt, labneh has a more distinctive flavour than cream cheese. Labneh is lower in milk fat than regular cream cheese, however, it’s still creamy, soft, and spreadable.

The only difference between labneh and yogurt is the thickness. Labneh is yogurt that has been strained, usually overnight, to remove excess liquid.

21. Roasted Garlic and White Bean Dip from Lost In Food

Some may think white beans are bland and unexciting, but not me. I’ve had a great time getting to know them again this past year. It seems like white beans make everything better, or complete.

They add that extra something to soups and vegetable dishes. They’re filling and healthy and are always willing to take on some extra flavor to help out.

22. Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes from Linger A Little

Okay, we’ve just roasted the garlic. Now we’re going to use it to make Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which is sheer perfection next to a perfectly cooked ribeye. Just ask Marlboro Man: he got to have Valentine’s Day dinner last night, and he’s still following me and kissing my feet.
