How to Roast Garlic in an Air Fryer

Recipe by Danielle

No need to heat up the oven – you can roast garlic in your air fryer! It’s quicker than using the oven and simple even for air fryer beginners. Here’s How to Roast Garlic in an Air Fryer!


  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield1 head of roasted garlic 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head of garlic (as many as you need!)
  • ~1/2 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil


Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic bulb: Peel the papery outside wrapping from the garlic bulb. Slice the top 1/4 inch off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place each garlic head into the center of a piece of aluminum foil and pull the sides up, but leave the top open. Drizzle the garlic bulb with oil and then wrap tightly, sealing the foil at the top.
  2. Air fry to perfection: Place 1-5 prepared garlic bulbs into the air fryer basket, being sure that the foil is below the “max fill” line. Air fry at 390F for 20-30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and the top of the head is golden. Check at 15 minutes for small heads of garlic.
  3. Storage: Leave cloves in the bulb and wrapped in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to one week, removing roasted garlic cloves as needed. Store mashed roasted garlic cloves in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze mashed garlic cloves in a Souper Cubes 2-Tablespoon Tray (or an ice cube tray) for small even portioning. Once frozen, transfer cubes to an airtight container or freezer bag and use within 6 months.
