Instructions
Oven Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Peel the outer papery layers from a head of garlic.
- Slice about 1/4 inch from the top of the head of garlic.
- Place the head of garlic onto a piece of foil.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil over the head of garlic, making sure oil covers the top of each clove of garlic.
- Wrap the foil up around the head of garlic and place it in a 400°F preheated oven.
- Roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the cloves are light brown and soft to the touch.

Air Fryer Method

Notes
- To roast individual peeled garlic cloves:
- Place 6-12 peeled individual cloves of garlic on a piece of foil and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
- Wrap the foil up around the cloves of garlic and place in a 400°F oven for 30-35 minutes, or in an air fryer at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, unwrap the foil packet and use the roasted garlic cloves in your favorite recipes.
- If you want to roast several heads of garlic at a time, place each head of garlic in a muffin tin and drizzle with the olive oil. Cover the muffin tin with a baking sheet or piece of foil. Place in a 400°F oven and roast for 40-45 minutes. Roast up to 12 heads of garlic at a time in one muffin tin.
- Roasted garlic can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 14 days.
- To store the roasted garlic in the freezer, I recommend freezing it in an ice cube tray, or small containers. This way, you can grab just the amount you need for a recipe. This is great for adding roasted garlic to soups, stews or sauces.
