Smooth, creamy, and full of flavor, this almond-based aioli is an easy twist on a classic sauce.
Roasted garlic adds a rich, mellow taste, while a bit of lemon gives it a fresh touch. It’s simple, versatile, and goes well with roasted veggies, potatoes, burgers, or even as a dip for snacks.
Makes about 1 cup (250 ml).
