You may need more or less time to roast garlic in the air fryer, depending on how large your garlic heads are. Large heads will take about 25 minutes, but smaller ones should be checked after 15 minutes.
If you like, add additional spices like black pepper, Italian seasoning, or your favorite dried herbs.
Be sure to check on the garlic halfway through the cooking time. If it's already browning at that point, keep checking it every 5 minutes or so, and remove it when it's perfectly roasted.
Carefully open the foil! The steam will be hot, and you don't want to burn yourself.
If you're cooking with a Ninja Foodi, an air fryer toaster oven, or another multi-function cooker, choose the "air fry" setting on the machine.
Make as many bulbs as you want! Just be sure that they fit in your air fryer in a single layer. Leftover roasted garlic can be wrapped and frozen to use later.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
