Get ready to fall in love with homemade Sriracha aioli! It’s incredibly easy to whip up, and you only need six simple ingredients. The best part? It takes just a few minutes to prepare. The most time-consuming step is roasting the garlic, but trust me, it’s worth every minute for that rich, savory flavor. This creamy, spicy sauce is perfect for dipping, spreading, or drizzling over your favorite dishes.
Looking for a quick and easy recipe? You only need six simple ingredients! The stars of the show are roasted garlic, creamy mayonnaise, zesty sriracha, and fresh lime juice.
While some folks opt for lemon juice in their sauces, I personally love the milder, sweeter flavor that lime juice brings to the mix. Of course, feel free to use whichever citrus you enjoy!
For those who crave a little extra kick of flavor, consider stirring in a touch of maple syrup, honey, or agave for a delightful blend of sweet and spicy. You might also want to drizzle in some sesame oil for a subtle nutty note that elevates the overall taste experience.
