Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the garlic cloves on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them into a foil packet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.
While the garlic roasts, finely chop the fresh rosemary and set it aside.
Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool slightly and then squeeze the softened garlic out of the skins into a small bowl. Mash it into a smooth paste using a fork.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and roasted garlic paste until fully combined.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the neutral oil, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture emulsifies and thickens gradually.
Once the aioli is thick and creamy, stir in the chopped rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the aioli to a serving dish or airtight container. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
