- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350ºF (177ºC) with a rack set in middle position.
- Trim top ¼-inch off of garlic head.
- Place garlic, cut-side up, on a piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Wrap foil around garlic and roast until cloves are deeply golden brown and tender, 50–60 minutes.

Equipment
Notes
Storage:
- Fridge: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days for maximum freshness and flavor. Simply remove and enjoy as desired whenever you're ready.
- Roasted Garlic: If you roast extra heads of garlic, or have some leftover unused, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, remove and add the softened cloves to butter, oil, pastas, sauces, or simply give it a stir and slather it onto some crusty bread with a sprinkle of salt.
- Let aioli chill in refrigerator before serving: Once you've made the aioli, let it cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help the flavors meld.
- Don't rush the roasting garlic process: It's tempting to cut the roasting time short, but trust us and the process, let the garlic roast until it's soft, tender and golden brown. It won't be the same if you take it out too early.
- Roast extra garlic: Since you're already roasting a head of garlic for this aioli, why not roast another head or two? Store the softened cloves in an airtight container and use whenever you're ready to enjoy—stir into butter for garlic butter, add to sauces and pastas, or simply spread onto some crusty bread.
