Air Fryer Roasted Garlic is a delicious addition to dips, spreads and sauces. Roasted in the air fryer, it’s done in half the time!
Use it to make Garlic Aioli or add to my Homemade Alfredo Sauce. It’s sweet, nutty and delicious!
Raise your hand if you love roasted garlic! I absolutely love it in so many dishes. But it always seems like such a big deal to heat up an oven to roast one bulb. Air fryer to the rescue! I can roast one (or more!) in half the time and without heating up the whole house.
Ingredients:
- garlic: fresh bulb
- oil: I used olive oil
- salt and pepper
How to roast garlic in the air fryer?
- Start by cutting off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves.
- Place the bulb on a small sheet of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Close the foil into a pouch and place on an air fryer rack or basket.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove pouch from air fryer, cool for a few minutes, then open and remove bulb.
- Cool until safe to the touch. Using a butter knife or a small spoon, pop the cloves out of the shell.
- Use right away or store for later.
How to use it?
Roasted garlic is delicious by itself on a bagel, toast or bruschetta. Simply spread it with a knife, it’s very soft. You can also add it to dips, spreads, pasta sauces, etc.
My favorite way to enjoy it is to make Garlic Aioli or add it to potato salad (mix it with the dressing).
Storing:
After removing the cloves from the shell, cool them completely and use right away or store in a small jar with lid, in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Came out roasted just perfectly! I used this while working on a copycat TFIFriday’s Jack Daniel Sauce that recommended using roasted garlic and it was perfect! I’m using the rest for garlic aioli!

I always love finding new recipes to make in the air fryer! This makes the garlic so flavorful and was so good in pasta!

What a fantastic idea, so simple, yet so genius. I adore garlic and add it to everything, I added this to avocado toast and it adored it. This will forever be a staple.
