Freeze Roasted Garlic in Single-Use Sizes
If you do not have ice cube trays to freeze the garlic in, try this alternative. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Put mounded tablespoons (or teaspoons) of garlic on tray and flash freeze. Once the garlic freezes, transfer to a freezer bag. Now, when a recipe calls for a measured amount of roasted garlic, it will be ready to go.
