Description
This Roasted Garlic Aioli is delicious with fries or roasted potatoes, in burgers, sandwiches, wraps, or drizzled over rice bowls as you would spicy mayo.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use 100% avocado oil mayo)
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F (200C).
- Cut off the top of the garlic to reveal the cloves, careful not to break the bulb apart.
- Wrap the garlic in foil and add to a small baking dish.
- Drizzle the visible garlic cloves with olive oil and close up the foil.
- Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes.
- Take the garlic out of the oven, open the foil very carefully to avoid getting burned by the hot steam, and let the garlic cool for 10-15 minutes while you prep the rest. Keep in the fridge if you plan to store it for longer. The garlic should be almost completely cool when you mix it with the rest.
- Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and black pepper to jar with a large opening.
- Use a spoon or a fork to get all the cloves out of the garlic bulb and add them to the rest of the ingredients.
- Use an immersion blender to blend everything together until smooth. You can also do this in a food processor or a blender.
- Add more sea salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce if needed.
- Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.
Equipment
Notes
This aioli is best served cold so I recommend making it ahead. Especially if your garlic was still a little warm when you blended it with the rest of the ingredients.
Storing: You can store it in the fridge for up to a week. I don’t recommend freezing it as it wouldn’t freeze well.
