Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

This “recipe” is rather forgiving in that you can adjust the number of heads of garlic used, along with the exact temperature and cook time if you choose to prepare the garlic alongside other recipes. Just be sure the garlic remains in the air fryer long enough to become soft, tender, and golden brown, without drying it out.

Sprouted raw garlic tends to be bitter, but roasting is a great way to get around this. These photos show three heads of garlic in various stages, ranging from fresh to fully sprouted. All three come out of the air fryer ready to use in your favorite recipes.

Roasted garlic is always nice to have on hand because it can be used in so many ways to deepen and enhance the flavors of your favorite dishes. Try it in your favorite sauces and soups – or use it to make a delicious compound butter to spread on warm crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or steaks.

The air fryer used for this recipe is listed below. Cook times and instructions will vary among different units. Be sure to check the recommended guidelines for your specific unit before preparing this recipe.

2. While the unit pre-heats, remove the outer papery layers from the garlic. Carefully slice off the top of each head of garlic with a sharp knife, making sure each clove is exposed.

3. Drizzle some olive oil onto each head of garlic and wrap each head in a small square of aluminum foil, as shown.

4. One the unit is pre-heated, place the prepared garlic in the air fryer basket and close the lid. After 20 minutes, check the garlic to make sure it is roasted through. If more time is necessary, rewrap the garlic and return to the air fryer for another 5-7 minutes.
