Vegan Roasted Garlic Aioli

February 10, 2019 By Lisa Kitahara 3 Comments

This Easy Vegan Garlic Aioli is smooth, creamy and packed with an aromatic garlicky flavour. Delicious over many savoury meals, can be used as spread or dips and only requires 6 ingredients to make!

If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with my Japanese mayo recipe. I use it as a dip, spread it and top it over everything but lately… this Garlic Aioli has been my holy grail. It’s SO creamy, smooth, garlicky and goes well with almost any savoury dish! Plus, it’s super easy to make which makes it like that much better.

All you need is 6 ingredients. Although you can make this with raw garlic, I HIGHLY recommend roasting your garlic with a bit of oil BUT this is optional. (I use sesame, cause thats really the only oil I use).

Maybe it’s just me, but the flavour of sesame just makes everything that much better? I’ve roasted garlic oil free, and that works too.

I kid you not, once you try this aioli you’ll be dipping it, spreading it and drizzling it over everything!

This Vegan Roasted Garlic Aioli is:

  • smooth

  • creamy

  • packed with flavour

  • so easy and quick to make

  • pairs well with so many savoury meals and delicious as a spread/dip

  • dairy & gluten free

  • & so insanely tasty!

Tips and Tricks to making Vegan Roasted Garlic Aioli

  • I love roasting my garlic with some sesame oil in my air fryer! All you have to do is cut the top part of the garlic so most of the cloves are exposed, wrap it in foil and throw it into your air fryer for 15-20 minutes at 400F.

  • *If you’re in a pinch and didn’t have time to soak your cashews beforehand, add 2-4 tbsp more water or vegetable stock.

  • ** I reduced my aquafaba slightly, and addd in 1/2 cube of vegetable stock to give it more flavour but this is optional!

    Made this to use as a dip for roasted cauliflower, and then cauliflower hot wings tomorrow. I have only tasted it on the spatula & I was wiping sides down in blender & this is very good! It’s chilling in the fridge now & look forward to having some later w/ dinner. I used aquafaba & added extra water to thin it some. Didn’t see your tip to use veggie broth & didn’t think of that – will do next time. I love garlic so added most of the roasted bulb. Very yummy!
