Prep time: 10 min

Total time: 42 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 piece garlic bulbs; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp salt; pepper to taste; 2 piece thyme sprigs; 4 slice white bread

A German starter recipe for all of Germany: whole garlic bulbs are slowly roasted with oil and thyme until the cloves are soft and golden. The soft cloves can be spread onto toasted white bread like a paste and taste mild and sweet instead of pungent. The small basket holds the bulbs closer to the heat and saves the long preheating of a big oven, but only four bulbs will fit side by side.

Instructions

1
Cut the top off each garlic bulb so that all the cloves are exposed. Pull off the loose outer skins, but keep the bulb itself together.
2
Brush the cut surfaces with the olive oil, season with the salt and the pepper and lay the thyme sprigs, broken into pieces, on top.
3
Preheat the airfryer to 160 °C.
4
Cut a piece of baking paper to the size of the basket base and set the bulbs on it cut side up in a single layer with space between them, without stacking anything; cook larger quantities in two batches. The paper has to be weighed down by the bulbs, otherwise the air stream lifts it. Cook at 160 °C.
5
Do not turn the bulbs, as the oil would run out of the cloves and the cut surfaces would dry out. Instead continue cooking at 160 °C until the cloves feel soft under pressure and look golden.
6
Take the bulbs out and keep them warm, then lay the white bread in the basket in a single layer and toast it at 160 °C.
7
Squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins and spread them over the toasted white bread.
