Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic whole (60g)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start with a whole head of garlic. With a sharp knife, cut through the papery skin, to remove about ½-inch off of the top (not the root end) to reveal the cloves inside.
  2. Place the root side of the garlic onto a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the olive oil over top of the cut side. Sprinkle with salt.
  3. Pull the sides of the foil up and around the head of garlic and pinch it together at the top to enclose.
  4. Air fry at 400°F for 30 minutes. Leave the garlic in the air fryer with it turned off for 15 more minutes. Remove from the air fryer and let cool to room temperature.
  5. Once the pouch is cool enough to handle, remove the head of garlic. Press on the sides of the head to pop out the softened cloves from the papery skin.

Notes

  • Make sure the garlic cloves are exposed. When you cut off the head of the bulb, cut far enough into the head to remove the top of the cloves to expose them. This way, they get coated in oil and cook properly.
  • Use a large enough piece of aluminum foil. The foil should be big enough to form a pouch that encloses the entire head of garlic.
  • Add pepper for extra flavor. For a subtle peppery kick, add a few grinds of black pepper on top of the garlic head along with the salt.
  • Let cool before squeezing the garlic out of its skin. The head of garlic will be very hot and can burn your fingers. Let it cool to room temperature before handling.
