So, I've been whipping up this vegan aioli for years now, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd-pleaser every single time.

It's just one of my 5 in 5 sauces - five ingredients in five minutes. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity – just a few ingredients coming together to create something way more than the sum of its parts.

The French sauce aioli (pronounced ay·ow·lee) is not vegan because it is traditionally made egg yolks.

This vegan aioli recipe is made with plant-based vegan mayo, whose main ingredient is usually plant-based oil, such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, or canola oil

Ingredients

With just three easy-to-get ingredients plus salt and pepper, you can have a delicious vegan aioli sauce in under 5 minutes. Fresh garlic is best, but you can substitute 1 teaspoon of garlic powder if you don't have fresh garlic. See the recipe card for quantities.

Tasty Variations

  • Vary the taste of your vegan aioli by adding fresh herbs. Finely chop herbs like basil, parsley, dill, or cilantro and mix them into the aioli.
  • Roasting garlic brings out its natural sweetness and mellows the flavor. Roast a few garlic cloves until soft, then mash them and mix for a delicious vegan roasted garlic aioli.
  • Incorporate lemon zest and fresh dill to add brightness and a tangy kick to your vegan aioli.
  • For a spicy aioli, add sriracha sauce or any other hot sauce of your choice.

How To Make Easy No-Egg Aioli

The steps couldn't be easier. Just combine in a bowl and mix. See the recipe card for details.

Step 2: Stir the ingredients until they combine well and the aioli is smooth and creamy. Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning. You can chill the aioli for 30 to 60 minutes so the flavors can meld together.

Top Tips

  • Adjust this creamy condiment as needed, adding more salt or fresh lemon juice to taste. Adjust the viscosity by adding water or more lemon juice to make it thinner or adding more mayo to thicken.
  • This aioli will keep just as long as mayo in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Serving Suggestions

This vegan aioli with vegan mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that pairs well with many dishes. Here are a few serving suggestions:

  • Use it as a dip for french fries, sweet potato fries, roasted vegetables, or vegan chicken nuggets.
  • Spread it on sandwiches like a chipotle black bean burger, or a vegan falafel wrap for added flavor.
  • Serve it as a condiment for vegan seafood dishes like fish and chips, crab cakes, or vegan steaks.
  • I use Easy Vegan Chipotle Aioli Sauce or this aioli to dip pizza.
  • Drizzle the aioli over high protein tofu scramble, or use it as a dip for air fryer french fries.

Vegan Aioli FAQS

Can I use this no-egg aioli recipe as a base for other flavored aiolis?

Absolutely! You can add different herbs and spices, such as basil, dill, or smoked paprika, to create new flavor combinations.

Is aioli just garlic mayonnaise?

In modern culinary practices, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, especially outside the regions where aioli originated, so you may find aioli that is essentially garlic mayonnaise. But if you're aiming for an authentic aioli, it would differ from garlic-flavored mayonnaise.

How long does no-egg aioli last in the fridge?

Store the aioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7-10 days—just give it a quick stir before serving!

Is aioli vegan?

No, traditional aioli isn’t vegan - it’s made with egg yolks (and sometimes dairy).

No egg aioli does not freeze well. It can separate and doesn't have the same consistency.
