Ingredients

  • 2 whole bulbs of garlic (£0.78)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the top 2 cm off of the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves.
  • Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil into each bulb of garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then wrap in a foil boat, leaving the garlic bulbs facing upright.
  • Pop in the airfryer for 30 minutes at 200°C/395°F. Open the foil for the final 10 minutes to encourage caramelization.
  • Leave to stand for a couple of minutes, then squeeze the roasted garlic out of the bulb. Squish with the side of your knife if you want to make a roasted garlic paste.

Notes

  • Be cautious of steam when roasting garlic in the air fryer; use tongs to open the foil pouch to avoid burns.
  • Allow garlic to cool before peeling, as you'll need to use your hands; if you can't wait, use a clean tea towel to protect your fingers.
  • Generously season the exposed garlic cloves with salt.
