Prep the Garlic Head: Carefully peel away any loose outer layers of garlic skin, leaving the cloves attached. Trim the top of the garlic head, exposing the cloves while keeping the root end intact. This makes it easier to squeeze out the roasted garlic later.
Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle the exposed garlic cloves with olive oil. Make sure to get the oil into the crevices between the cloves.
season (Optional) : If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the garlic head for added flavor.
Wrap in Foil (Optional): While not necessary, you can wrap the garlic head loosely in aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning and to keep it moist during roasting. If you prefer a slightly crispier texture, skip this step.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 175°C. This ensures that the garlic starts cooking immediately when you place it inside.
Roast in the Air Fryer: Place the prepared garlic head directly into the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray.
Air Fry: Roast the garlic for approximately 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. The garlic cloves should become soft, golden, and caramelized.
Cool and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the garlic head from the air fryer. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Extract Roasted Garlic: Squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins. They should come out easily.
Enjoy: Use the roasted garlic immediately in your favorite dishes, spread it on bread, mix it into sauces, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
you can store the roasted garlic in fridge for 4 days in an airtight container or in the freezer for 6 months.
