With just four ingredients and less than a half hour, you can have deliciously savory air fryer roasted garlic. You’re going to love this recipe for a whole head of roasted garlic in the air fryer and be floored by how simple it is to make.
Every time I make roasted garlic, I wonder why I don’t make it more often. It is crazy simple to make. You just need 4 ingredients and a little bit of time. Roasting garlic in the oven and roasting garlic in the air fryer requires the exact same steps and ingredients, however, the air fryer requires about half of the cooking time. That’s why I love using my ninja foodi when possible, it works so quickly!
After about 20-25 minutes in the air fryer (any brand works), the garlic will begin to caramelize and turn golden brown. The bitterness garlic can have is completely gone and the texture turns to butter.
