Very good, and rootbeer is a fun ingredient!<br/><br/>I used 1 teaspoon garlic powder because I forgot to buy regular garlic, and 3 tablespoons canned diced chilies. In the future I might reduce/omit the olive oil and reduce the salt to make them a bit healthier. I would also make a double batch... they dissapeared too quickly!1Reply
