I used to be quite skeptical of roasted garlic because I figured it was just as strong and punch as fresh garlic is. Boy, was I wrong! Roasting the garlic transforms those sharp cloves into something quite the opposite: garlic that's soft, mellow and buttery. I love using it in pasta or spreading it on steak, there are so many different uses for it!

- Olive Oil: A light drizzle helps the garlic caramelize and prevents it from drying out in the air fryer.
