How to make the aioli

Preheat the oven to 350°F and cut a square 8 x 8 piece of aluminum foil. Then peel and place the garlic cloves in the middle of the piece of aluminum foil. You can cut each clove in half if you prefer.

Pour the olive oil overtop of the garlic cloves and season generously with salt and pepper.

Gather the corners of the foil and bunch them together creating a little package. Place on a baking sheet or in an oven safe dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden brown.

When the garlic has finished roasting, set it aside and let it cool slightly.

Open the cooled garlic package and transfer the roasted garlic cloves into a small ramekin. Using the backside of a fork, smash the garlic cloves into a paste.
