Low Carb Perfect Air Fryer Roasted Garlic 🧄

Roasted garlic is a wonderful appetizer
or addition to salads, pastas or vegetables! 

Ingredients:

1 or more heads of garlic

1/2 tablespoon (1 1/2 teaspoons) olive oil per head of garlic

aluminum foil

Method:

Peel off the outside, loose papery layers from the bulb of garlic. Slice the top 1/4 inch off of the top of the cloves. Place each head of garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the cut ends of the garlic. Fold closed the top and sides of the foil to make a pouch around the garlic bulb.

Preheat the airfyer to 390*. Place the pouches in the air fyer. Cook 20 minutes for roasted solid cloves of garlic. Cook for 30 minutes for spreadable roasted garlic.

Use tongs to remove the pouches from the air fryer. Allow the roasted garlic to rest inside of the pouches for 5 minutes. Unwrap the pouches. For whole cloves, squeeze to remove the cloves from the husk. (A butter knife or small spoon can also be used to remove the cloves.) 

For spreadable gloves, serve with keto chips or toast triangles slices and a butter knife or mini spreading knife.

May be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To store in the freezer, line a small pan or cutting board with waxed paper and place individual cloves on the waxed paper. 

After the cloves are frozen, package in an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
