Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 35–40 minutes until soft, golden, and fragrant.
Let garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl and mash into a smooth paste.
In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, mashed garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

Notes

Use vegan mayo for a plant-based version.

Add cayenne or hot sauce for a spicy twist.

Mix in herbs like parsley or chives for freshness.

Use smoked paprika or chipotle for a smoky flavor.

Lemon zest adds a bright citrus boost.

Store in the fridge up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Serve chilled or at room temperature—do not reheat.
