Units Scale

Spicy Aioli Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the garlic and spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Refrigerate to Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the aioli to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop a deeper, spicier taste.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Use the spicy aioli as a flavorful condiment on sandwiches, burgers, or as a dipping sauce for fries, chicken tenders, vegetables, and other finger foods. Stir well before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper according to your heat preference for milder or spicier aioli.
  • For a garlickier flavor, increase the garlic cloves while keeping balance with lemon juice.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be customized by adding herbs such as parsley or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
