Green Garlic!
Does anyone know why when I roast garlic it goes green? Is it bad for me?

Hmmm - shouldn't go green unless there were some green shoots coming out of the center of the garlic before you roasted it. I don't think it's harmful, but some folks think it tastes bitter.

Sounds like a chemical reaction; what kind of pan/etc. are you roasting it in? Also are you marinating it in something before roasting?

Galrlic turns blue or green from a reaction to acid. Do you put vinegar or lemon juice on it before roasting?

Hi all. Thanks, I did find out it was a chemical reaction, still not sure how to avoid it happening though...

I don't know what the recipe was, but, if possible, modify the recipe so you can cook the garlic before you add any acidic ingredients.
