Creamy, smoky, and rich—this vegan chipotle aioli tastes just like the traditional version but without the eggs. Perfect for fries, roasted potatoes, or crudité platters.
3tbspaquafaba (liquid from a can of garbanzo beans)
2small clovesgarlicpeeled
1/2 - 1piecechipotle pepper in adoboadjust for spice level
1/4cupvegetable oil
1/4cupolive oil
1/2tspnutritional yeast
1/4tspsaltor to taste
Instructions
Add aquafaba, garlic, and chipotle pepper to a blender. Blend on medium until mostly smooth.
With blender running on low, slowly stream in the vegetable oil. Hold a paper towel over the lid opening to prevent splattering.
Next, slowly add the olive oil in the same way until the mixture thickens to mayonnaise consistency.
Add nutritional yeast and blend to incorporate. Taste, then season with salt to preference.
Serve as a dip for roasted potatoes, french fries, or raw veggies.
Notes
Save leftover aquafaba in the fridge for up to a week. For milder aioli, use half a chipotle pepper; for more heat, use the whole pepper. If the oil is added too quickly, the mixture may separate.
