Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 10 cloves Roasted Garlic I roast mine in the air fryer, about 1 head of garlic
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- ¼ tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to a food processor or blender cup
- Mix until well incorporated and there are minimal chunks of garlic
- Top with more salt and pepper (if desired) and fresh herbs like chives
Notes
- Use a mayo you like: Mayo is the base of the sauce, so choose one you already enjoy.
- Roast the garlic first: Roasted garlic gives the aioli a smoother, mellow garlic flavor instead of a sharp bite.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon keeps the sauce bright and balanced.
- Chill before serving: The flavor gets better after 20 to 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Adjust to taste: Add more lemon for brightness, more roasted garlic for depth, or a pinch of Cajun seasoning for warmth.
- Store covered: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use a clean spoon each time.
