Ingredients

1 garlic bulb, roasted
½ teaspoon olive oil
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 French bread sticks, sliced into discs (it’s smaller than a loaf of French bread).

Instructions

How to Roast Garlic

Cut ¼ off the head of the garlic.
Place the garlic bulb, root side down, on a piece of aluminum foil about 5x5 inches.
Drizzle olive oil over the garlic and add a pinch of salt.
Wrap the foil around the garlic to seal completely. Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees for 20 minutes, (to roast in the oven, place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes - 1 hour).
Remove and let cool a bit.

Garlic Bread

Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, unwrap and squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl and add butter, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
Stir until all the ingredients are combined.
Slice both loaves of bread into ½-inch slices and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Add butter mixture to each piece of bread and place on the baking sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until desired doneness is obtained.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

- Be careful not to cut off too much of the garlic bulb top. You only need to remove enough to squeeze out the roasted garlic.

- Let the garlic bulb cool for a few minutes until you can safely handle it. It's WAY too hot fresh out of the oven.

- Fully soften your butter so it's easy to mix it with the seasonings.
