Make delicious Roasted Garlic Aioli with this easy method and just 4 ingredients. This creamy and delicious mixture can be used as a dip, sauce or spread!
I made Air Fryer Roasted Garlic to use in this recipe and served the sauce with Lemon Garlic Tuna Cakes. It complemented them perfectly!
Even though the name of this recipe sounds fancy, it could not be easier to make. Essentially, it's garlic mayo. But what a delicious combination! You can use is it as a dip, spread or sauce. While classic aioli is made with egg yolk, oil, garlic and lemon juice, this recipe calls for ready mayo. You can use your favorite brand or make it from scratch. Vegan mayo works great too! Roasting the garlic takes it to a new level.
Ingredients:
- garlic
- mayo
- lemon juice
- salt
How to make garlic aioli from scratch?
- Start by roasting the garlic. You can do it in the oven or in the air fryer. Mash it with a fork and cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix mayo, lemon juice, salt and mashed garlic.
- Place in a jar and store in the fridge.
How to use it?
Garlic aioli can be used as a sauce, dip or spread. It's perfect with seafood cakes like my salmon patties, chicken nuggets or tenders or with burgers and fries.
Variations:
- spicy: add hot sauce or sriracha
- sweet: add honey or brown sugar
- vegan: use mayo made with aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas) instead of eggs
Storing:
The best way to store aioli is in a glass jar with a lid. It will keep well for at least a week in the fridge.

I love garlic, so I thought it took our deli sandwiches from good to amazing! I think I need to have some on hand in the fridge at all times, especially when the kids are home from school and we are eating sandwiches every day. 🙂
