Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves. Place each bulb on its own square of foil.
Drizzle each bulb with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, letting it soak into the exposed cloves. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Wrap the foil tightly around each bulb and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are sealed so the garlic steams while cooking.
Air fry at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and lightly golden. Carefully remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly.
Unwrap the garlic and gently squeeze the soft cloves into a sealable container. Sprinkle with fresh minced parsley if desired and use as needed.

Spread roasted garlic on warm bread, toast, or crackers for an easy appetizer.
Stir it into mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to add rich flavor without extra work.
You can also mix it into butter, cream cheese, or sour cream for a simple spread or dip.
Roasted garlic works well in sauces, soups, and stews, and it is delicious tossed with roasted vegetables or used as a pizza topping.
It can also be blended into salad dressings or marinades for a mild, savory flavor.

Choose firm garlic bulbs with tight skins for the best texture after roasting.
Make sure the garlic is fully wrapped in foil so it steams and softens evenly.
Check for doneness by gently squeezing a clove to see if it is soft and spreadable.

Roasted garlic can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
For longer storage, freeze in small portions and use as needed.
Let the garlic cool completely before storing to prevent excess moisture.
