Cut the tips off the head of garlic to expose the cloves.

Remove excess papery skin from the garlic head, but not all of it.

Place the garlic in the center of a piece of foil.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the garlic.

Season with a little salt and pepper.

Wrap the garlic loosely in the foil.

Place the wrapped garlic on a sheet pan and put it in the oven at 350°F for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove the garlic from the oven and squeeze the roasted cloves out into a bowl.

Add lemon juice to the roasted garlic to enhance flavor and help mash it.

Mash the garlic with a fork until well combined.

Add mayonnaise to the mashed garlic, adjusting the amount to taste, preferring more garlic than mayonnaise.

Transfer the aioli to a squeeze bottle for easy serving.
