Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 garlic bulb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap the bulb in aluminum foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash them into a smooth paste.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the aioli to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve as a dip, spread, or sauce for sandwiches, roasted vegetables, or fries. Enjoy!
