Ingredients

  • Garlic bulbs (whole)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Remove the excess paper/skin from the garlic bulbs using your hands.
  • Then, slice the top of the garlic head—just enough to expose the garlic and get the oil and seasonings into direct contact with the garlic. This will also help us get the cloves out when they're finished roasting.
  • Set out a few strips of aluminum foil—one for each garlic bulb. Place a bulb into each strip.
  • Drizzle with olive oil. Add a pinch of salt, too, and crack some black pepper over the garlic.
  • Fold the foil over the garlic, and turn it into a foil pouch before placing in the air fryer.
  • Air fry for 30-35 minutes.
  • Once done, safely open the foil pouches. Give them a little time to cool off because they're HOT.
  • Remove the garlic from the pouches.
  • To remove the roasted garlic cloves, you can squeeze them out, which is very satisfying... or if you want to keep your cloves whole, just use a fork to prick them out one by one.
  • Use in a variety of ways, including smearing onto toasted bread, adding to various recipes and more!

Bom Apetite!!

    Notes

    How to store: Store in an airtight food storage container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
    How to freeze: Freeze for a month. I like to place them in ice cube trays and cover with oil and then transfer to a plastic bag once frozen solid.
