Classic Roasted Garlic Aioli Recipe
This roasted garlic aioli recipe will show you how to make a homemade aioli flavored with sweet and decadent roasted garlic cloves. After making it yourself, you will never want to buy it again.
Equipment
- Optional Immersion Blender
- Optional Blender
Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 large egg yolks
- ½ cup olive oil, to drizzle over garlic
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- kosher salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place the garlic cloves in a sheet of aluminum and drizzle with olive oil and salt.
- Close up the foil to form a pouch. Not too tight, the extra air will allow the cloves to roast evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Mayo Base
- With a Bowl and Whisk: Using a damp towel, twist and create a ring around the base of the bowl you intend on using. This will keep the bowl from moving while you use both hands to slowly drizzle in the oil and constantly whisk. To the bowl, add the egg yolks and blend in oil.
- With a Blender: Add the egg yolks and run the blender on low while slowly drizzling in the oil through the hole.
- With an Immersion Hand Blender: You can add all the oil at once with the eggs. Touching the bottom of the container, slowly blend the oil in on low, moving the wand up and down until all the oil is emulsified.
- Next add in 2 Tbsp of the roasted garlic, dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use water to thin out the aioli if it gets too thick.
- I would not recommend using Miracle Whip due to it being sweetened with sugar.
- After mincing the garlic, to get the garlic smell from your finger either:
- Cut a lemon and rub your fingers and nails in the flesh
- Run water on a knife and run your fingers along the blade under the stream
