Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened plant-based milk (soy or almond preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 small Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (e.g., sriracha or cayenne hot sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for additional smoky flavor)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Neutral-flavored oil (e.g., avocado or sunflower oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or a tall container for an immersion blender, add aquafaba, plant-based milk, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, paprika (if using), salt, and ground black pepper (if using).

Step 2

Blend the mixture on medium speed until slightly foamy, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

With the blender running on low, very slowly drizzle in the neutral-flavored oil. Take your time, as this emulsification step is crucial for the aioli to thicken properly.

Step 4

Continue blending, gradually increasing the blender speed, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. This may take 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more salt, lemon juice, or hot sauce for heat as desired.

Step 6

Transfer the aioli to a small bowl or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve as a dipping sauce for fries or veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or use as a bold, spicy addition to your favorite dishes.
