Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Garlic
- 1 whole head garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Aioli Base
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for extra richness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic.
- Prepare Garlic: Slice the top off the whole garlic head to expose the cloves, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap the garlic head tightly in foil.
- Roast Garlic: Place the foil-wrapped garlic in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until the cloves become soft, golden, and fragrant.
- Cool and Mash: Let the roasted garlic cool slightly. Squeeze the softened cloves out into a small bowl and mash them into a smooth paste.
- Mix Aioli: Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and optional olive oil to the mashed garlic. Stir until fully combined and creamy.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
- Chill: For best flavor, chill the aioli in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter aioli, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- This aioli pairs excellently with fries, chicken wings, sliders, or vegetable trays.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
