Roasted Garlic Aioli

This Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe is packed full of roasted garlic flavor. Aioli is a great way to elevate the flavor of any dish, even if it is just a sandwich.

Aioli itself is a sauce found in a lot of Mediterranean dishes. It is an emulsion of garlic, olive oil, salt and egg yolks. It is similar to mayonnaise, just with the addition of garlic and olive oil instead of canola oil, which is usually what is used in mayonnaise. This aioli recipe uses mayonnaise, we can cheat a little bit every now and then, right? Either way, it is delicious and worth the extra effort to add a punch of flavor to your dish.

How to Use an Aioli

  • Anywhere you would typically use mayonnaise
  • Sandwiches
  • Burgers
  • Chicken sandwiches
  • Chicken wraps
  • Nachos
  • Tacos

When roasting the garlic, I like to roast one to two heads at a time. It is nice to have extra roasted garlic on hand to add to other dishes as I am cooking. Roasted garlic has an amazing flavor. I also like to roast the garlic in a lot of oil. You do not need to use a lot of oil, but the roasted garlic infuses the oil, so I like to use about a cup when I do roast garlic. It is great to keep on hand to use while cooking. I just pour the oil into a mason jar to store it and use it in place of oil when sautéing veggies, or searing meat. You can even use it to make a vinaigrette. It is great to coat your potatoes in for baking. Talk about great potato skins, they are the best!
