Instructions:

1. Roast the Garlic:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle the garlic cloves with a tiny amount of olive oil and wrap them securely in the foil.
- Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and golden brown.
- Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool.
2. Prepare the Lime:
- While the garlic is roasting, zest and juice the lime.
- Measure 1 tablespoon of lime zest and 2 tablespoons of lime juice, then set them aside.
3. Mix the Aioli:
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime zest, and lime juice.
- Once the roasted garlic has cooled, mash it with a fork until it's a paste consistency.
- Add the mashed roasted garlic to the mayo mixture.
4. Blend and Season:
- Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Taste the aioli and add salt and pepper as needed, adjusting to your preference.
5. Chill and Serve:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Roasted Garlic and Lime Aioli as a dip, spread, or sauce.

Tips:

- For a deeper garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves until they are soft and golden brown.

- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best tangy taste.

- Adjust the lime zest and juice to match your taste preference; more zest for a stronger lime flavor, or more juice for additional tanginess.

- Make sure to whisk the ingredients well to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

- Allow the aioli to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
