Instructions

Preheat an air fryer to 380°F.
Remove any loose paper from the outside of the garlic bulb, taking care to keep the bulb intact and the cloves attached. Slice the top of the bulb off. Cut around the side of the head to expose any cloves that weren't originally cut.
1 head of garlic
Drizzle garlic all over with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use a pastry brush or your fingers to gently rub the oil all over the garlic. Place a square piece of parchment paper onto a square piece of aluminum foil and add the garlic bulb. Wrap the foil and paper around the bulb to form a packet.
1 teaspoon olive oil, Pinch of salt
Set the packet in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloves are tender and caramelized. If you have more than 2-3 heads, it may take another 5-10 minutes. Remove the packet using tongs or oven mitts.
Be careful opening the packet as it will release a lot of steam. Once cooled to the touch, push out the cloves by squeezing from the base of the bulb or use a spoon to pop them out.

Notes

Cooking multiple: Feel free to use this recipe for more than 1 head of garlic. You’ll want 1 teaspoon of oil for every head of garlic. I’d do no more than 10 at a time. As you increase the amount, you may need to cook the garlic for slightly longer to get the same results.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Freezing: Place the cloves in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
