Ingredients
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon Sriracha, or more, to taste
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head garlic
1 1/2 to 2 cups vegetable or olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
Step by step
Combine the egg yolks, salt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Blend the ingredients together with the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series 5-Speed Cordless Hand Blender until they’re well combined. With the blender running, stream in 1/2 cup of the oil until well combined, then stream in the remaining oil in 1/2-cup increments. (You will need between 1 1/2 and 2 cups to achieve a thick consistency.)
Divide the mixture into three small bowls and continue with the recipes below to make the three flavored options:
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice off the top one-third of the head of garlic. Place the bottom portion of the head of garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle it with the olive oil, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Place the top back on the head of garlic and crumple the foil up around it so it’s sealed tightly.
Roast the garlic for about 40 minutes until it’s soft and golden. Squeeze the cloves into the bowl with the aioli and stir until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
