Roasting garlic in the oven takes about 45 minutes to an hour, but it’s not always the most efficient method.
If you’re looking for faster, energy-saving alternatives, try these methods for perfectly roasted garlic every time.
Stovetop Method: Wrap a garlic bulb in foil with olive oil, place it in a pan over low heat, cover, and cook for 15–20 minutes. This method is quick and gives you control over the process.
2. Air Fryer: Drizzle a garlic bulb with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and air fry at 375°F for 20 minutes. It’s fast and energy-efficient.
3. Microwave: Place unpeeled garlic cloves in a microwave-safe dish, drizzle with oil, and cover. Microwave in 30-second intervals for 2–3 minutes.
4. Instant Pot: Add garlic and oil in foil, then pressure cook for 10–15 minutes. It’s easy and hands-off.
These methods save time and deliver rich, caramelized garlic. Use it to elevate mashed potatoes, pasta, or simply spread on bread. Ditch the oven and enjoy hassle-free roasted garlic
