Vegan aioli with aquafaba is a delicious and versatile condiment perfect for plant-based cooks. It offers a creamy texture and rich flavor without any animal products. This foolproof recipe is easy to make and customizable to suit your taste preferences.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup light vegetable oil or olive oil
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or dill for flavor
Instructions
Start by combining aquafaba, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and frothy. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin, steady stream. Continue blending until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For added flavor, fold in chopped fresh herbs.
Tips for Success
- Use room temperature aquafaba for best emulsification.
- Slowly pouring the oil helps create a stable emulsion.
- If the aioli becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
