Ingredients
- 1 1 whole garlic bulb or more!
- olive oil drizzle
- Pinch sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut the top off of the garlic bulb, approximately ½ inch down, so that the top of each garlic clove is exposed.
- Place the bulb in a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil on top. Wrap the foil around the bulb and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cloves are tender and golden brown. If the bulb is larger, it will likely take longer to roast.
- Let the garlic bulb cool slightly until you're able to handle it; turn it upside down and squeeze out the garlic cloves. Use as desired in a recipe.
- Air Fryer: Place the foil packet of garlic in the air fryer at 390°F for around 18-23 minutes, depending on the size of the bulb.

Notes
