Roast up this great mix of herbs and vegetables and keep them in the fridge to use as sandwich fillings, topping for pizza or baked potatoes or serve hot tossed into freshly cooked pasta. The cloves of whole garlic become sweet and tender during roasting and just need to be squeezed from their papery cases once plated up.
