Description
Creamy, garlicky, and made from scratch, this Homemade Garlic Aioli adds bold flavor to sandwiches, fries, roasted veggies, and more. So easy and so worth it.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced into a paste
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup olive oil (extra-light or mild)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine egg yolks, garlic paste, and Dijon mustard. Whisk or blend until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking or blending continuously, starting with a few drops at a time until the mixture begins to emulsify and thicken.
- Once thick and creamy, add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk again until fully incorporated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon juice as needed.
- Transfer to a jar or airtight container. Chill for 30 minutes before serving if a thicker texture is desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the aioli emulsify properly.
- Roast garlic beforehand for a milder, sweeter flavor.
- Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
