Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 4 heads Whole Garlic
- 4 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 small pieces Aluminum Foil
Instructions
- Slice the top quarter off each head of garlic to expose the cloves inside. Remove any loose, papery outer skin, but keep the heads intact.
- Place each garlic head cut-side up on a small square of aluminum foil. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the exposed cloves of each head, letting it seep down between them. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Wrap each garlic head snugly in its foil, creating a sealed packet with the seam on top.
- Place the foil-wrapped garlic packets in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 370 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cloves are deeply golden and completely soft when you press the side of the packet gently.
- Carefully unwrap the foil and let the garlic cool for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the roasted cloves out of the skins by pressing from the bottom of each head. The garlic should slide out easily in a buttery, caramelized paste.
- Use the roasted garlic immediately as a spread on crusty bread, stirred into mashed potatoes, or mixed into sauces and dressings. Store any leftovers in a small jar covered with olive oil in the refrigerator for up to one week.
