  19 The roasted garlic bits keep for a few days in the fridge so there
  20 isn't really any reason to roast less than a full head of
  21 garlic. Obviously you can throw some spices in if you want, but I
  22 usually just roast the garlic because I use it in heavily spiced
  23 things anyway. Don't try to roast more than two heads worth of cloves
  24 in a bunch, but naturally you can throw a bunch of pouches into the
  25 oven if you have a need for an absurd amount of roasted garlic.
