Vegan Garlic Aioli Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Step 2

Cut across the top of the whole head of garlic about ¼ inch from the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves of garlic. Be sure to leave the end that holds all the garlic cloves together on the head intact.

Step 3

Place the head of garlic into foil with the exposed garlic cloves facing up. Drizzle with oil.

Step 4

Place into the oven and cook for 30-45 minutes or until the garlic is very soft.

Step 5

Check for doneness by inserting a knife or fork into the top of the garlic to get a feel for the softness. When ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Step 6

Drain the cashews and rinse well with clean water. Place the cashews, water, lemon juice, viegar, mustard and salt in a blender. When the head of garlic has cooled enough squeeze the garlic out and add to the blender.

Step 7

Blend it all up until creamy. Taste and adjust the lemon juice, salt or vinegar as desired.
