Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking of the garlic bulb.
- Prepare the Garlic Bulb: Slice off the top portion of the garlic bulb to expose the individual cloves inside, taking care not to separate them from the bulb.
- Season the Garlic: Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil evenly over the exposed garlic cloves, then sprinkle with salt to your taste for enhanced flavor.
- Wrap in Foil: Wrap the garlic bulb carefully in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open to allow steam to escape and promote even roasting of the cloves.
- Air Fry the Garlic: Place the wrapped garlic bulb inside the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the cloves become soft and golden brown, indicating they are perfectly roasted.
- Cool and Use: Remove the garlic from the air fryer and let it cool for several minutes. Once cooled, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins to use as a delicious spread or incorporate into your recipes.

- Adjust salt quantity according to your taste preference.
