  2. Wrap each garlic bulb in aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly covered to keep moist during cooking.
  3. Place the wrapped garlic bulbs in the air fryer basket and set the timer to 15 minutes.
  4. After cooking, carefully remove the bulbs from the air fryer, let them cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze the softened cloves into a bowl. Garnish with parsley if desired.
