How to Make Roasted Garlic Aioli

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the garlic: Cut off about 1/4 inch from the top of a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves.
Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the exposed garlic cloves. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the garlic head in a small oven-safe dish, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the garlic is very soft and easily squeezed.
Let the roasted garlic cool completely.
Once cool, squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from the skins into a blender or food processor.
Add 2 large egg yolks, the roasted garlic pulp, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the 2 teaspoons of reserved olive oil from roasting the garlic, followed by 1 1/2 cups of additional olive oil in a slow, steady stream. Continue blending until the aioli is thick, creamy, and emulsified.
