Ridiculously Easy Roasted Garlic Aioli Sauce
This Roasted Garlic Aioli Sauce combines caramelized roasted garlic with mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, and seasoning to create a creamy, mellow garlic spread. The roasting softens the garlic cloves, developing sweetness and reducing harshness, which blends smoothly into the mayo for an adaptable condiment suited to sandwiches, dips, or seafood.

Ingredients
- 1 garlic whole bulb
- Drizzle olive oil
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top off of the garlic bulb approximately 1/2 inch down, so that the top of each clove is exposed. Place the bulb in a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil on top. Wrap the foil around the bulb and bake for 25-35 minutes, until cloves are tender and caramelized (this will depend on the size of your bulb).
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Let the garlic bulb cool slightly until you can handle it. Turn the bulb upside down and squeeze out the garlic cloves. Chop and smash the cloves, or add them directly to the mayo mixture and smash with a fork while mixing. Stir the garlic and mayonnaise mixture until completely incorporated, being sure to taste test for salt levels.
- Serve as a dip, on a sandwich, or with seafood dinner. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 3/4 cup of aioli; store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
- For milder garlic flavor, use roasted garlic cloves as directed; raw garlic can be substituted but use only 1-2 cloves due to its stronger taste.
- Fresh or dried herbs like chives and rosemary can be added to personalize the flavor.
