Description

This creamy, flavorful Roasted Garlic Aioli is a versatile condiment perfect for enhancing sandwiches, dipping fries, or adding a zesty touch to grilled vegetables. Made with roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, it delivers a rich, mellow garlic flavor with a tangy kick.

Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Garlic

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Aioli Base

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the garlic.
  2. Prepare Garlic for Roasting: Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb without separating the cloves. Slice off the top to expose the tops of the cloves. Place the bulb on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly.
  3. Roast the Garlic: Roast the foil-wrapped garlic in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until cloves are soft and golden brown.
  4. Cool and Squeeze Garlic: Remove garlic from oven and allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl.
  5. Mash Garlic: Mash the roasted garlic cloves with a fork until creamy and smooth.
  6. Combine Aioli Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed garlic with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to blend evenly.
  7. Season the Aioli: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed to balance flavor.
  8. Garnish the Aioli: Optionally, stir in or sprinkle chopped parsley or chives for color and fresh flavor.
  9. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the aioli to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.

Notes

  • Roast extra garlic cloves to use as a spread or in other dishes.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the aioli ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  • If the aioli is too thick, thin it with a small amount of water or additional lemon juice.
  • The aioli will thicken after chilling, so adjust consistency accordingly before chilling.
  • Customize the flavor by adding smoked paprika, honey, or other spices to give your aioli a unique twist.
