Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 20 minutes to soften them. Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, 0.5 cup of water, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, salt, and smoked paprika.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula as needed.
Taste the aioli and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or chipotle peppers to suit your taste preferences.
Transfer the aioli to a bowl or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the aioli to thicken slightly.
Serve the Vegan Chipotle Aioli as a dip, spread, or dressing for your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
