How to make spicy maple aioli

This is a very easy recipe and you will be able to make it in less than 3 minutes. Here are the ingredients you will need:

• Mayonnaise. The base for this rich and creamy aioli.
• A good-quality maple syrup. Adds sweetness to the sauce.
• Sriracha. You can also use hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a kick of flavor.
• Salt. To balance out all the flavors.

First, pull out the mayonnaise from the fridge and scoop some into the small bowl.

Next, add in high-quality maple syrup. I usually use an organic maple syrup that I buy from Costco. It has a good price and it's delicious. That bottle lasts us forever! Add a pinch of salt to the bowl as well.

Now to the fun part. Since it's not an average aioli recipe, we are going to add some hot sauce! I prefer to use sriracha, additionally, you can add some cayenne pepper. Add as much as you want and taste it along the way.

I will have some exact measurements in the recipe card for not too spicy aioli. Add more if you feel like it.

Stir everything to combine and serve your simple and delicious aioli dip with your favorite foods!

What is aioli made of

Aioli is a sauce found in Mediterranean cuisines that is made of garlic, salt, olive oil, and sometimes egg. These ingredients are emulsified to create a creamy and flavorful sauce that looks like mayonnaise.

What is the difference between an aioli and mayonnaise

Both are emulsions but the ingredients are different. Aioli is made from olive oil, salt, and garlic. Mayonnaise is made from eggs and canola oil or olive oil. An aioli will be rich and full of flavor and mayonnaise is more muted in flavor and very creamy.

In this recipe, we combine mayonnaise and a few other simple ingredients to create an aioli mayo sauce. This sweet and spicy sauce is easy to make and super delicious. The best of both worlds!

Is it dairy free

This recipe is dairy free. Mayonnaise only has eggs, oil, and some type of acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Sriracha is made with chili, sugar, salt, garlic, vinegar only. No dairy ingredients in maple sauce as well.

What do you put it on

You can put it on anything you would put mayo on. Serve it as a dip for crispy french fries or sweet potato fries, as a spread for your favorite sandwiches, or served with roasted root vegetables or sausage. The options are endless!

I personally like to make these air fryer chicken thighs or air fryer turkey wings and serve them with some spicy maple aioli. Just dip that wings right in to the bowl and enjoy! For thighs i prefer to cut a piece with a knife and dip as well. Delicious and perfect when you have friends over.

What does it taste like

I would describe it as a rich and creamy and very flavorful mayo sauce. Anywhere you would normally use mayonnaise, use this sweet and spicy sauce to add sweetness and a tiny bit of heat to your favorite foods.
