Roasted Garlic Aioli
It's an extra step to roast the garlic for this aioli, but it's so worth the wait. Roasted garlic has a milder flavor than fresh and makes this THE aioli to spread on sandwiches, burgers, and even top our Lacy Squash Latkes.
Use a good quality homemade, or store bought mayo made with extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
