How To Make Roasted Garlic Aioli
While you’ll need to allow time to roast your garlic for this recipe for roasted garlic aioli, once it’s ready, putting this sauce together takes no time at all.
- Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Cut the top ½ inch (or 1 cm) off the top of the garlic bulbs, place in aluminum foil, and pour olive oil over top. Close foil tightly around the garlic and bake for 40 minutes (until garlic is tender and caramelized). Open foil, and set aside to cool.

- Combine mayo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Once garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze each bulb into the mayonnaise mixture. Mix until smooth. (A small whisk works well for this.) Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Vegan aioli relies on vegan mayonnaise, and the rest of the ingredients, including fresh garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings, are all naturally vegan.
