Roasted Garlic Oil

I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Web MD magazine. You can substitute garlic oil-which has not only a subtle hint of garlic but also rosemary or thyme-in any dish that calls for olive oil. You can also use garlic oil to roast tomatoes, drizzle on grilled vegetables, or moisten cooked pasta.
