Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the top off of the garlic head and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
While the garlic is roasting, slice the cassava into 1-inch thick pieces.
Mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, dip the cassava slices into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and then place them into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cassava from the pan and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste.
Whisk the mashed garlic paste, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Serve the Fried Cassava with the Roast Garlic Aioli on the side for dipping.
