keep roasted garlic  I'm not sure what I was thinking, but a
couple days ago I roasted a head of garlic & only used a
little.. Now I'm going out of town for a week,, is there a way
to keep it? I thought about trying to freeze it but now I'm
thinking maybe squished out of the wrapper and in the fridge
covered with olive oil. Any suggestions?    1. Click to Upload a

oil poses a botulism hazard - not sure about cooked.      1
Reply     1. re: greygarious        As long as the roasted
garlic is completely covered with oil it should be fine for a
week .Keep it in the coldest part of your fridge.Freezing is
also a viable option.      2. Thanks, I think I will freeze it.
Texture shouldn't be an issue and also I won't have to use it
right away when I get back.          1. Clostridium Botulinum

than you got roasting your garlic. Sto
