Ingredients
 

  • 3 Heads of Garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt see note
  • Pinch of Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Slice off the top portion of the garlic head, keeping the cloves intact but revealing them slightly.
  • Pour a drizzle of olive oil onto the exposed garlic cloves, then lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Wrap the whole garlic in foil.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F for about 5 minutes. When it is preheated, add the foil wrapped heads of garlic.
  • Air fry for 20-25 minutes or until caramelized and golden. Carefully remove the garlic using oven mitts or tongs, it will be hot.
  • Let it cool then remove the cloves from the skin with a knife, tiny spoon, or squeeze the cloves out. If not using immediately, refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Notes

Important Note about Salt: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
