- 2 heads Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper

- For the garlic aioli: Begin by roasting your garlic.
- Preheat your oven to 425 F and grease two muffin molds on a muffin tin with olive oil.
- Cut the tops of the garlic heads off, exposing the garlic inside and peel off the very outer layer of skin.
- Make sure to still keep the garlic intact.
- Place the garlic into the prepared muffin tins and drizzle with olive oil.
- Cover with foil and roast for 40-45 minutes or until the garlic is soft and beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool for just a minute, then squeeze the cloves out of the skin.
- In the bowl of your food processor or blender, combine the garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Pulse until smooth and then transfer to a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use.
- To assemble your sandwiches, spread a layer of pesto on one half of the roll and some of the garlic aioli on the other half.
- Layer the provolone cheese, Mortadella, salami, turkey breast, spinach and roasted red peppers onto one half of the roll and top it with the other half.
- Stab each roll with a toothpick and serve.
- Enjoy!
