ingredients

  • 2 large whole heads of garlic
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise full fat or low fat
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt to taste

instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  • Trim the tops off each head of garlic so all of cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil each, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the heads individually in aluminum foil. You can place them in a small baking dish or directly on the oven rack.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until soft and golden brown. Let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes until you can handle them without burning yourself. Unwrap each whole head of garlic.
  • Squeeze out the garlic cloves into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth.
  • Stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne (if using) until well combined.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. Serve!
