Tips for making roasted garlic in the air fryer

Roasted garlic adds a depth of flavor that elevates countless dishes. Thankfully, your air fryer can transform this culinary gem into golden perfection in minutes! Here are some tips to ensure maximum flavor and convenience:

Roasting Tips:

Temperature & Time: 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes is a good starting point. Adjust based on garlic size and desired doneness (softer for spreads, firmer for garnishes).
Foil or No Foil? Wrapping softens the garlic but can result in a milder flavor. Skip the foil for deeper caramelization, but keep an eye on browning.
Oil Choice: Olive oil is classic, but avocado or vegetable oil work too. Drizzle sparingly – some recipes even skip oil for a lighter option.
Flavor Boosters: Add a sprinkle of herbs like rosemary, thyme, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper before roasting for extra flair.

Storage & Usage:

Cooling & Squeezing: Let the roasted garlic cool for 10 minutes before handling. To remove cloves, simply squeeze the bulb from the bottom – they’ll pop out like flavor explosions!
Refrigeration: Store squeezed cloves in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing: Freeze individual cloves or mashed garlic for longer storage (up to 3 months).
Flavorful Uses: Spread on toast, blend into dips and sauces, infuse olive oil, add to mashed potatoes, or sprinkle on roasted vegetables – the possibilities are endless!

Bonus Tips:

Experiment with different cooking times and temperatures to find your perfect doneness level.
Use larger garlic bulbs for easier peeling and handling.
Reheat leftover roasted garlic in the air fryer for a few minutes to revive its flavor.

Happy air-frying and enjoy the delicious!

Air Fryer Roasted Garlic

Roast garlic in your air fryer in half the time it takes in your oven! If you love roasted garlic cloves in pasta, bread, vegetables and more, this easy air fryer recipe is for you! In less than 25 minutes you can have this delicious add-in ingredient ready to use. 2 ingredients and virtually no preparation!

Air Fryer

1 garlic bulb
1 tablespoon olive oil

Keeping the garlic bulb in its shell, slice the bottom off (the side with the brown part) of the bulb to expose the inner cloves.
Place the cut bulb in a piece of aluminium foil large enough to tightly wrap the entire bulb. Drizzle with the olive oil so that it coats the exposed cloves and drips down the outside of the bulb. Wrap tightly in the foil.
Set the air fryer to 390°F or 198°C. Put the wrapped garlic in the air fryer basket or cooking pan. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, garlic begins to caramelize and turn golden brown. Remove carefully using mitts and tongs.
When ready to use, squeeze the garlic bulb gently so that the cloves easily slide out of their shells. Serve in pasta dishes, appetizers, dipping oil, or on sandwiches and toast.

NOTES
Ensure there is something under your air fryer basket or tray to catch oil that may drip out of the foil.
Store in the fridge for up to 10 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Store in an airtight bag or container.
