A creamy and luxurious spread, built upon the mellow sweetness of slow roasted garlic cloves. These softened, caramelized bulbs are expertly blended into a rich emulsion - creating a smooth and intensely flavorful base. The roasting process tames the sharp bite of raw garlic, leaving behind a nutty and subtly sweet essence that permeates the entire aioli. A touch of lemon juice and vinegar brightens the flavor, adding a necessary tang to balance the richness. This aioli is a versatile condiment, perfect for dipping vegetables, chips, or fries. Spreading on sandwiches, or serving alongside grilled meats and seafood, adding a sophisticated garlicky depth to any dish. Here is some recipe ideas using The Awkward Fox Roasted Garlic Aioli:
