Roasting garlic in an air fryer is a simple yet delightful way to enhance its rich, sweet flavours. Start by separating the garlic bulbs, ensuring you leave the individual cloves unpeeled. Drizzle a touch of olive oil over the exposed tops, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt for added flavour. Wrap the bulbs in aluminium foil to keep the moisture in and avoid them drying out.
Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius, then place the foil-wrapped garlic inside. Cook for around 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cloves are tender and golden brown. Once done, let it cool slightly before squeezing the creamy roasted garlic out of its skins. The results are sublime; you’ll find the garlic perfectly caramelised, making a fantastic addition to spreads, sauces, or even tossed through pasta. It’s an effortless method that brings out the best in this humble ingredient!
