Ingredients

  • 2 heads garlic about 20 to 30 cloves
  • ⅓ to ½ cup olive oil enough to cover all garlic cloves

Instructions

  • Peel 2 heads garlic and drop the peeled cloves into the ramekin. Cover with ⅓ to ½ cup olive oil. It’s okay if the tops aren’t fully submerged, as long as most of the garlic is under the oil.
  • Put the ramekin into the air fryer basket. Cover with an oven-safe lid, or wrap with aluminum foil. (Optional, but prevents oil droplets from flying all over the air fryer.)
  • Air fry at 250 °F for 1 hour. No need to preheat.
  • Garlic should become very tender. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Notes

  1. Ramekin: A 1-cup (8oz) ramekin is enough to hold 2 heads’ worth of peeled garlic. If you have a bigger container, feel free to use more garlic!
