Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Tom, I just wrap the heads of garlic in foil and put them in the oven. I've never used oil for that.Susan (waiting for someone to post warnings about aluminum foil...) ;-)------------------------- Susan VoisinFatFree Vegan Kitchenhttp://blog.fatfreevegan.comhttp://www.facebook.com/FatFreeVegan-------------------------- On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Tom Fronczak, LICSW <TJFronczak wrote: Hi all. Curious how you are roasting garlic these days without oil. I know some are using olive oil spray. But if you go more than a 7/10 of a second (serving size for zero calories) the calories and oil do add up!! After seeing Dr Esselstyn speak in Boston this fall, I am all about not using any processed oils including olive and canola. So how are you roasting bulbs of garlic without oil? Thanks Tom= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 > (waiting for someone to post warnings about aluminum foil...) ;-) Not from me - I use it all the time, as did my parents and her parents before her. But if people *do* want to avoid foil touching their food they can always wrap it in parchment paper first and then foil. As for me, I have one of those clay garlic roasters that I use when roasting in the regular oven. Since the surface of the bottom portion where the garlic goes is glazed, no greasing is necessary. But many times I just take a few bulbs on a piece of parchment and toss them in the microwave for a minute (Come on, let's now see anti-microwave posts. LOL) and they're as tasty as if slower roasted when used in soups and stews or just as a spread on bread. Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Check your garlic roaster because we bought one through frontier, a ceramic one like you are describing, and it had a warning on it about lead.On Sun, Dec 13, 2009 at 12:32 PM, Sue in NJ <sue_in_nj wrote: > (waiting for someone to post warnings about aluminum foil...) ;-) Not from me - I use it all the time, as did my parents and her parents before her.
