Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Garlic Bulb: Take the garlic bulb and slice off the top portion exposing the individual cloves inside without separating them.
- Season the Garlic: Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil evenly over the exposed cloves and sprinkle salt to your preference for enhanced flavor.
- Wrap in Foil: Carefully wrap the garlic bulb in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open so steam can escape and the garlic roasts evenly.
- Air Fry the Garlic: Place the wrapped garlic bulb in the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloves become soft and golden brown, indicating perfect roasting.
- Cool and Use: Remove the garlic from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes. Then gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins to use in recipes or as a delicious spread.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
