Remove any loose pieces of husk from the garlic head, leaving the shell intact.
Cut about ¼” off the top to expose the cloves and create a flat surface.
Place the garlic head in the center of a piece of foil and drizzle with olive oil. Season lightly with salt & pepper.
Wrap the foil around the garlic, making sure it’s covered completely. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes.
Unwrap the top section of the foil and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until cloves are golden brown.
Carefully remove the air fryer and allow to cool.
Remove individual cloves of garlic from the head by squeezing them from the skins. The cloves can also be left whole, smashed or chopped.
