Elevate your condiment game with this Whole30 Spicy Aioli, a creamy, flavorful spread that combines a luscious avocado oil base with the bold kick of smoked paprika and optional hot sauce. Perfectly Whole30-compliant, this quick and easy recipe comes together in just 10 minutes using wholesome ingredients like fresh garlic, tangy lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Whether youβre looking for a zesty dip, a savory spread, or a punchy sauce to complement grilled vegetables, seafood, or burgers, this versatile aioli adds a gourmet touch to any dish. Plus, with the added bonus of being healthy and paleo-friendly, itβs a guilt-free indulgence that delivers both spice and satisfaction.
Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard in a medium mixing bowl (or the bowl of a food processor or blender). Whisk or pulse to combine until smooth.
While whisking continuously (or with the food processor/blender running), very slowly drizzle in the avocado oil in a thin stream. The mixture should gradually thicken and emulsify. Take your time with this step to prevent the aioli from breaking.
Once all the oil has been incorporated and the mixture is creamy, stir in the smoked paprika, hot sauce (if using), and sea salt.
Taste the aioli and adjust for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or paprika to suit your preferences.
Transfer the aioli to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Serve as a dip, spread, or topping, and enjoy your Whole30-compliant spicy aioli!
