Roasting green garlic brings out it lovely springtime sweetness. More of it is edible than with mature roasted garlic, but you may need to chew around any papery peel that has developed. Roasted green garlic is particularly tasty with fresh goat cheese and chopped fresh spring herbs like dill or chervil.
