How do we love our air fryers? Let’s take a look. Once you’ve invested in one of these incredibly useful kitchen gadgets you’ll never look back. They’re handy for quick-cooking — pretty much everything from French fries to protein-packed roasted veggies to sweet treats like air fryer donuts. The possibilities and time-saving air fryer tricks are nearly endless but the real genius of this countertop appliance is the time it saves you on typically lengthy processes — like roasting garlic. It’s a task that would normally take 40+ minutes in a conventional oven but the air fryer can complete it in just 15.

And while conventionally roasting garlic is a time-consuming kitchen task that many busy cooks avoid—the flavor is worth the wait. The roasting process softens the bite of raw garlic to create almost caramel-like soft spreadable cloves that add robust rich flavor to a variety of dishes. Every foodie deserves the heavenly tang and delicious creaminess of velvety roasted garlic. The solution? The next time your recipe calls for it whip out the air fryer for the same savory aromatic results in a third of the time.
To roast garlic in your air fryer you proceed almost exactly as you would in a conventional oven. Take a whole knobbly head of garlic slice off the top layer to expose each clove and carefully remove some of the outer crispy layers of skin leaving enough to hold the individual bulbs in place. Drizzle the entire bulb with a little olive oil and season it as you normally would when roasting.
A word about oil here. While a big selling point of the air fryer is its ability to brown and crisp food without oil—“frying” as the name suggests with little more than air—this is a bit of a misnomer. While it’s true that you can use an air fryer without oil you might not always want to if flavor is your main consideration. This is one such case so don’t skimp on the olive oil (but don’t use cooking spray which can damage air fryers).
