Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 full bulbs of garlic
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Carefully slice the tops off the garlic bulbs so the cloves inside should are exposed.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top of each garlic bulb, making sure all the cloves get covered.
- Sprinkle salt on each bulb and tightly wrap each of them in tin foil.
- Place them in the air fryer and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the garlic is tender.
- Allow them to cool until you can handle them and remove the bulbs from the papery skin.
Notes
- Look for firm heads of garlic with tight, papery skin and no green sprouts.
- Slice off just enough of the top of the garlic head to expose each clove and try to make the cut as straight as possible.
- For the best taste, use a good quality extra virgin olive oil so the flavor can really shine through.
- Each head of garlic should be wrapped tightly in foil so the garlic steams while it roasts. This is what makes the garlic cloves soft and tender.
- Use the garlic spread on garlic bread, in mashed potatoes, salmon, vegetables, in sandwiches, wraps, and more!
- Store leftovers in a tightly closed glass jar submerged in oil for up to a week.
