Bacon Roasted Garlic Cloves

bacon roasted garlic
I’ve been consuming copious amounts of garlic, lately.
Because I watched Twilight and now I’m scared of vampires. Ok, not really. More like Costco bit me. 3 lb bag of heirloom, peeled garlic. $5.80.
I mean, really, what’s a girl to do?!
Buy it, of course! And figure out how to eat it all, afterwards. Preferably with bacon. Obviously.
And so it happened.
Oven-roasted garlic cloves, drizzled in bacon grease.
The perfect combination for warding off vampires AND people.
Yes, I eat them whole.
I’m willing to bet my co-workers and the lady 6 inches away from me in hot yoga class didn’t realize how lucky they used to be.
Suckerrrrrs. 😉

But you must share with your co-workers. 🙂 BTW Yum!
Oh this is divine and what a great way to use up the bacon grease instead of dumping it. Thanks!!!
you are most welcome! i always save that bacon grease! 🙂
I saved the bacon grease and roasted veggies with it. The sun chokes were especially yummy! 😉
oh yumm! sunchokes sounds wonderful!
I died & went to heaven just reading those words ‘Bacon Roasted Garlic’!
haha, thanks. it is a great combo!
Do you eat as a snack or as a side dish? Looks yummy!
err, maybe it’s TMI, but yes, I do eat it as a snack! or with eggs, in salads, in soups, etc.
so so good!
I may not sleep tonight. This sounds so gorgeous.
it’s worth the try! but don’t lose too much sleep 😉
I’ll get my seven hours for sure 🙂
What do you do with it?! Sounds fab!!
wellllll, haha, I usually just pop the delicious roasted cloves in my mouth, as is!
roasting them removes some of the garlic “bite,” a lot like when you cook/saute onions.
they’re great in eggs, soups, salads, ground up in dishes/sauces/dressing, etc.
Perfect combination. I can only imagine the delicious smell in your kitchen! Just another example that everything tastes better with bacon.
Very nice blog.
thanks so much! 🙂
Oooh! You should make a chip dip outta that! And add crumbs of bacon, of course 😉
you. are. brilliant.
🙂
Okay…now THAT sounds really amazing! Two of my favorite foods. I think I’ll use that recipe for a pizza topping! …and maybe a pasta, and a bruschetta, perhaps!
oh gosh. now you’re making ME hungry. 🙂
I roast garlic often just in olive oil, why did I never think about this before. I shared it around, and am very impressed. Thanks for sharing.
woot, woot! now you can take roasted garlic to the next level 😉
