Additional Info

• *NOTE: If you have never roasted garlic just preheat your oven to 350 F, cut the tops off of two small garlic cloves, or one large, drizzle with a little olive oil or avocado oil, wrap in foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to slightly cool before using. Store unused garlic in the fridge.
