Air fryer roasted garlic is quick and easy to make. Roast up a whole bulb of garlic and enjoy the roasted garlic cloves!

Air fryer roasted garlic in foil this recipe

Anyone else such a fan of roasted garlic? I love spreading it on a little crostini (air fryer crostini is perfect for this). Add a little thyme and a drizzle of honey? So good.

But it always seems to take too long in the oven. And I feel like my oven temperature can fluctuate so much. So I've been roasting up garlic bulbs in my air fryer instead. So easy to do and super fast.

I roast up a whole bulb at once, and then I can squeeze the garlic bulb at the bottom and all the little cloves come out so easily. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Ingredients

  • Garlic bulb
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Tips to know

  • You can absolutely double, triple, quadruple this recipe if you want to roast up more bulbs of garlic.
  • Wrapping the garlic bulb in foil helps keep it from burning and helps to roast it properly.
  • All air fryers cook differently. Check your garlic bulb to make sure it is roasted to your preference and pop back in the air fryer if you need it to roast for longer!
