Equipment
- My favorite air fryer
Ingredients
3full bulbs of garlic
1-2tablespoonsolive oil
1teaspoonsalt
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.
