Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

Roasting whole garlic bulbs in the air fryer concentrates their flavor and softens the cloves to a spreadable, golden state. Coated with olive oil and wrapped in foil, the garlic cooks for about half an hour at high heat, transforming raw sharpness into a mellow, rich sweetness suitable for spreading or cooking use.

Description

Air Fryer Roasted Garlic involves trimming the top quarter of whole garlic bulbs to expose the individual cloves. Drizzled with olive oil and wrapped in foil, they roast in a 380°F air fryer until the cloves are soft and lightly golden, typically around 30 to 35 minutes. This method creates tender cloves with a creamy texture.

The roasting process mellows the pungency of raw garlic, bringing out a nutty, sweet character. The cloves become squeezable from their skins and can be used as a flavorful spread or added to recipes for depth.

This preparation is convenient for making multiple bulbs at once, with extras stored in the freezer frozen after squeezing cloves out. Roasted garlic keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week when stored properly. The gentle roasting in the air fryer is efficient and consistent, with time adjusted for bulb size to ensure softness without burning.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 bulbs garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.
  2. Cut the top ¼ of the garlic off so the cloves are exposed and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Wrap the garlic in foil and place in the air fryer basket.
  4. Cook the garlic for 30-35 minutes or until it is tender and golden.
  5. Remove the bulbs and gently squeeze each clove to remove it from the skins.

Notes

  • You may roast one garlic bulb or several at once; store extras by squeezing cloves from skins and freezing up to 4 months.
  • Check garlic after cooking; large bulbs may need extra time to reach tender, golden brown softness.
  • Store leftover roasted garlic in the refrigerator covered for up to one week.
  • Roasted garlic can be used directly from frozen, softening quickly when reheated or incorporated into dishes.
