• If you're like me and don't like getting your hands dirty, then use a garlic press to crush your roasted garlic cloves into a somewhat minced form.
• Try to prepare your garlic butter ahead of time. While roasted garlic mixed with butter will certainly taste incredible fresh out of the oven, there's no harm in making this delicious concoction and storing it in the fridge for later use.
