Notes
To roast garlic, simply slice off the top of a whole garlic bulb, drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30-40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the cloves and mash it into a smooth paste. Use this in place of minced garlic in the aioli for a slightly sweeter and more complex flavor. Of course, if you’re in a hurry, minced garlic works perfectly too!
