Air Fryer Roasted Garlic turns whole garlic bulbs into soft, creamy cloves with rich roasted flavor in just 15 minutes. All you need is garlic, olive oil, and your air fryer for an easy way to roast garlic without turning on the oven. Air Fryer Roasted Garlic
I like keeping roasted garlic on hand because it adds so much flavor without much work. I can mash it into potatoes, stir it into pasta or soups, or spread the soft cloves right onto warm bread.

How to Make Air Fryer Roasted Garlic
Prep the Garlic: Slice the top off each garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Place each bulb on its own square of foil.
Add the Olive Oil: Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, if desired, then wrap the foil tightly around each bulb.
Air Fry: Place the wrapped garlic bulbs in a single layer in the air fryer. Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and tender.
Remove the Garlic: Carefully unwrap the bulbs. Once cool enough to handle, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from the skins. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, and use as needed.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Check for Softness: Garlic bulb sizes vary, so add a few extra minutes if the cloves aren’t soft after 15 minutes.
- Wrap Tightly: Keep the foil sealed around each bulb so the olive oil stays inside instead of dripping into the air fryer.
- No Peeling Needed: Leave the papery skin on and roast the garlic bulb whole.
Storage
Store roasted garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
