Roasted Garlic Aioli with a Twist image

I posted another recipe on creating a garlic aioli, but this one is a bit different... it taste brilliant, you probably have the ingredients on hand, and it's a snap to make. The twist on this recipe is that we're not creating an oil-based emulsion from scratch... we're going to use a premade mayonnaise. In addition, we're going to bake the garlic to give the aioli a roasted, mellow taste, and kick it up with a bit of Sriricha pepper sauce. This recipe goes great on sandwiches in place of a regular mayonnaise. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
