How to make air fryer roasted garlic: step by step
Cut the top off the head of the garlic and place it on a piece of aluminum foil. Close the foil up and around the garlic (so that your aluminum foil creates a cup around the garlic) and pour olive oil on top—season with salt and pepper. Close the ends of the foil over the garlic, creating a closed pouch.
Roast in the air fryer for 30 minutes at 400 °F (200°C).
Be careful when you open the pouch as hot steam might escape!
You can now easily spoon or squeeze out the garlic paste.
Storage and Freezing
- Storage: Place the roasted garlic paste in an airtight container and cover with olive oil. The garlic must be completely submerged in olive oil. Prepared garlic has a risk for botulism so don’t store it outside of the fridge! Use properly stored garlic within 2 weeks
- Freezing: store up to 3 months in the freezer

My husband loves this roasted potato recipe. Air fryer is a plus since oven is too big to heat up.
