Re: fresh roasted garlic?
Yep... garlic is allowed. Counts as a veggie, but do include the carbs in your daily totals! Garlic is waaaaaaayyyyy good for you too!Before and after:

Re: fresh roasted garlic?
yes Dr Atkins even rated it as the best food for bang for your carbs in terms of micronutiants. Enjoy it but remeber you still have to eat your 3 cups of veggies and can't just fill up on garlic.by the book atkinseer

Re: fresh roasted garlic?
Oh lord, this reminds me of an Omaha Italian restaurant (Lo Sole Mios) that served roasted garlic as part of a free appetizer. You eat it with olive oil (spiced up a bit). Dear lord it was good. Sadly, it is meant to be eaten with bread, but was just as good without bread.

Re: fresh roasted garlic?
next time you got the oven on cooking some veggies or meat wrap some garlic in foil and stick it in there to roast. When it is done you can squirt the roasted garlic paste out of the cloves without the mess of peeling them. the house will smell great and you get double use of your oven energy. There is a great roasted eggplant and garlic "cavier" spread recipe in the recipe data base.
I would not recommend you do this if baking though as garlic cheese cake even low carb doesn't seem to be as good as nongarlic ones are.by the book atkinseer

Garlic butter for one's ribeye or top sirloin is a way to perfect on perfection. Mmmm... Garlic powder is a must have in my pantry. I haven't tried roasted garlic cloves, but they sound great!Kent - 35-M-6'4"
