Ingredients:
- Whole garlic bulbs
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- While the air fryer is heating up, prepare the garlic bulbs. Remove any loose outer layers but keep the bulbs intact.
- Cut off the top of each garlic bulb, exposing the cloves. Make sure the cut is even to ensure even roasting.
- Drizzle olive oil over each garlic bulb, ensuring that the cloves are well-coated. You can use your fingers or a brush to spread the oil evenly.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the garlic bulbs for added flavor.
- Place the prepared garlic bulbs in the air fryer basket, cut side up.
- Roast the garlic in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes or until the cloves become soft and slightly caramelized. The exact time may vary depending on the size of the garlic bulbs and the temperature of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
- Once the garlic is roasted to perfection, remove the bulbs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- To extract the roasted garlic cloves, gently squeeze the bottom of the bulb, and the soft, caramelized cloves will pop out easily.
- Use the roasted garlic as a delicious spread on bread or crackers, mix it into mashed potatoes or pasta dishes, or add it to your favorite sauces for an extra burst of flavor.
