What it is
Roasted garlic oil is made by infusing the flavor of roasted garlic into a neutral oil, typically soybean or canola oil. Roasting garlic mellows its sharp flavor and brings out a sweeter, deeper taste. The roasted garlic is then steeped in oil, which absorbs its aroma and essence.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add roasted garlic oil to impart a savory, roasted garlic flavor to foods without the texture of actual garlic pieces. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, seasonings, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Roasted garlic oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring ingredient. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, similar to other vegetable oils. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many flavoring substances, but specific evaluations for roasted garlic oil may vary. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
The oil base used for roasted garlic oil is often soybean or canola oil. Soybean oil is one of the FDA's major allergens. Consumers with soy allergies should check product labels.
