Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel away the outer layers of the garlic head and slice off the top. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil.
Roast the wrapped garlic on a baking sheet for 30–35 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Allow garlic to cool for 10 minutes, then squeeze the roasted cloves into a bowl, discarding the skins.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, roasted garlic, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
If desired, drizzle in olive oil while whisking for a richer flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before cooling.
Cover or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
