Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400F.
  • Cut aluminum foil into four square pieces.
  • Slice about ¼-inch off of the top of each head of garlic so that the cloves are exposed.
  • Place one head of garlic, cut side up, in the center of each square of foil.
  • Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the top of each head of garlic
  • Bring the corners of the foil up and over the garlic and seal
  • Arrange foil packets in the air fryer basket
  • Air fry for 20 minutes or until garlic is tender. If garlic is not tender after 20 minutes, air fry in 5 minute intervals until tender.
  • Let cool.
  • Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and mash with a fork.

Notes
