Roasted garlic is a kitchen basic everyone should have up their sleeve. The cloves turn buttery-soft, sweet, and deeply aromatic, adding incredible flavor to all kinds of savory dishes. In the air fryer, it's ready in under 25 minutes \u2014 no oil required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I only recently discovered just how amazing roasted garlic tastes, while developing my recipe for white beans in a garlic-sweet potato sauce<\/a>. I never would have guessed just how much a sharp little garlic clove transforms after spending some time in the oven or air fryer. (Why doesn't anyone teach us this in school?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n That sharp, intense bite almost completely disappears, leaving behind a garlic paste with a sweet, mellow flavor<\/strong>. You can use this paste in all sorts of dishes, and on busy days, roasted garlic is a shortcut to packing your meals with flavor, fast. So definitely give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n You only need a single ingredient: garlic, in whole bulbs<\/strong>. Choose large, firm bulbs <\/strong>with big cloves if you can, and avoid any bulbs that have already started to sprout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each bulb gives you about 10 to 15 soft cloves once roasted. I recommend roasting two to three bulbs at a time <\/strong>\u2014 the finished garlic paste keeps for a few days in the fridge, and you can freeze it in small portions,<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You'll also need some aluminum foil or parchment paper<\/strong>: wrapping the garlic keeps it from drying out in the air fryer. Alternatively, a small oven-safe dish with a lid works well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1:<\/strong> Slice off the top 0.2\u20130.4 inch (0.5\u20131 cm) of each garlic bulb so all cloves are just exposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Mash the cloves with a fork into a smooth paste. Stored in a sealed jar, your roasted garlic will keep in the fridge for up to 6 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep these little things in mind for perfectly soft, golden roasted garlic every time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are so many ways to use your air-fryer roasted garlic. Here are a few of my favorite ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wouldn't recommend it, since the garlic dries out quickly without it. If you'd rather skip the wrapping, use a small oven-safe dish with a lid instead.<\/p> <\/div> Yes! Peeled individual cloves can be roasted at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) for about 10\u201312 minutes.<\/p> <\/div> Stored in a sealed jar in the fridge, it keeps for 5\u20137 days. In the freezer, it'll keep for up to 3 months.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Looking for other recipes like this? Try these: <\/p>\n\n\n You don't want to miss anything <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
