Description
This Air Fryer Roasted Garlic recipe offers a quick and easy way to enhance the flavor of your dishes with sweet, caramelized garlic. Using an air fryer, the garlic bulbs become tender and spreadable, perfect for adding depth to sauces, spreads, and entrees.
Ingredients
Scale
Garlic
- 4 Large Garlic Bulbs
Oil and Seasoning
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Black Pepper, to taste (optional)
Garnish
- Minced Fresh Parsley, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Bulbs: Slice the top off each bulb of garlic, just enough to expose the individual cloves for roasting.
- Wrap in Foil: Place each garlic bulb on a square piece of tin foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the exposed cloves of each bulb. Optionally, sprinkle with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Seal the Garlic: Wrap the garlic bulbs tightly in the foil, ensuring they are fully covered to lock in moisture during cooking.
- Air Fry the Garlic: Arrange the wrapped garlic bulbs in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 15 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden.
- Cool and Store: Carefully unwrap the garlic bulbs once cooled enough to handle, then gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a sealable container. You may sprinkle with freshly minced parsley, if desired. Use as needed and enjoy the rich flavor!
Notes
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of garlic bulbs and the brand of air fryer used.
- The garlic can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Use roasted garlic as a spread on bread, mixed into mashed potatoes, sauces, or dressings for added depth.
- For milder garlic flavor, reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
