Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • This Spicy Garlic Aioli recipe builds in flavor and intensity the longer it sits! Use it right away for a milder flavor, or make it a day or two in advance for the most potent garlic and spice flavor.
  • Cayenne is where the heat comes from in this aioli dipping sauce, but you could use chipotle, hot sauce, jalapeno powder, or your favorite spice.
  • Start with just a bit of cayenne and add more if you like it spicier.
  • You don't want big chunks of garlic in this aioli. Use a microplane to grate the garlic cloves or chop them very finely.
