Air frying garlic is the simple hack you need to know for easy recipes and tasty dishes
I'll admit I like garlic more than most. If a recipe calls for a clove of garlic, I'm likely adding four.
But, then again, most people seem to reallylike garlic. There's like a whole category of Twitter and TikTok jokes about ignoring the "recommended" amount of garlic.
Regardless, I am definitely the target audience for a roasted garlic recipe. When I saw TikTok account @healthysimpleyum post air frying garlic as a hack, I knew I had to try it. Roasted garlic is fantastic, especially as a component of larger dishes. The roasting process mellows the harsh bite of raw garlic, sweetens the flavor, and turns the cloves into soft, smoosh-able pieces. Mush those cloves into butter, or an aioli, or whip it into a salad dressing and you've ramped up the complexity and flavor of a dish.

The recipe from @healthysimpleyum promised to get it done in 30-35 mins. A standard oven might take 15 minutes to preheat alone, a process that's done in just 5 for the air fryer. And you know what? That promise turned out to be true — I totally recommend you air fry some garlic.
Ingredients
1 head of garlic
Oil
Salt
Pepper
Aluminum foil
Directions
Cut the top of the garlic off, leaving the bulb intact but exposing the tops of the cloves.
Apply just enough oil to coat the cloves, then season with salt and pepper.
Wrap the entire bulb of garlic in aluminum foil, sealing the top to form a pouch.
Air fry at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
After letting the garlic cool for a bit, squeeze the bulb to remove the cloves, then enjoy.
Here's how the end result looked in the TikTok.
The details
Honestly, there isn't much more to report in the details here. This recipe is wildly simple and there's no need to add any unnecessary complications. Now there is a quick disclaimer here. I found this recipe via @healthysimpleyum on TikTok, who posted it as one of five essential air fryer recipes. The details of the recipe were sparse, just that it should cook at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
I scanned the internet to put the rest of the details together, but my final product turned out just like the original TikTok. Pretty much every recipe called for cutting open the garlic, oiling, then seasoning. And, again, pretty much every recipe called for pouching the whole bulb of garlic. Some processes were more involved than others, and I opted for simplicity — just scrunch it all up in tin foil. it doesn't have to be pretty, we're just keeping the heat down so the garlic doesn't burn and turn acrid. It should look something like this.

Garlic, up close and screenshotted.Credit: MashableThere are countless ways you could use roasted garlic. But I though a really simple idea was to just mix it into garlic, making a quick-and-easy compound butter. I didn't use any fancy tools, just combined it all together with a fork. The end result was predictably delicious. The fatty, creamy butter was offset with the sharpness of the garlic and the sweetness from the roasting process. I slathered on toast and ate a kind of weird and smelly, but tasty lunch.
Weird lunch? Sure. But pretty good.Credit: Mashable.An air fryer's main value is ease. It's basically a convection oven, but it's nonstick — easy to clean — and it's small, so it preheats quite fast. That's why this recipe, or hack, even, is so useful. It cuts out time and mess. With very minimal effort you have a tasty bulb of roasted garlic. Despite what TikTok recipes might tell you, not everything should be air fried. But garlic? You should absolutely air fry garlic.
