Ingredients
- 4 Large Garlic Bulbs
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper (optional)
- Minced Fresh Parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Bulbs: Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the individual cloves, allowing the oil and heat to penetrate during roasting for optimal flavor development.
- Wrap in Foil: Place each garlic bulb on a separate square of tin foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the exposed tops of each bulb, ensuring thorough coverage for even roasting and moisture retention.
- Add Seasoning: Optionally sprinkle salt and pepper over the olive oil-drizzled garlic bulbs to enhance seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Seal and Air Fry: Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in their foil packets to trap steam, then place them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
- Cook: Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes, allowing the garlic to soften and caramelize beautifully.
- Finish and Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil packets, and gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out into a sealable container. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh minced parsley for added freshness and color. Use as desired to enhance your dishes.
Notes
- Roasted garlic can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can use the roasted garlic in mashed potatoes, sauces, spreads, or directly on toast for enhanced flavor.
- If you prefer softer garlic, increase the air frying time by 2-3 minutes but monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Use fresh garlic bulbs for the best flavor and texture.
- Be cautious when squeezing the garlic after roasting, as it will be very hot.
