In this recipe, I fear that pre-minced would create a stronger garlic flavor than you get from the whole cloves. When the cloves are whole they give off their flavor slowly, and as they roast the flavor mellows and sweetens slowly as well. Minced garlic, especially in this quantity of oil, seems like it'd increase the intensity by a magnitude.
