Sriracha Aioli | Creamy and Spicy
Sometimes you’ve gotta splurge and this Sriracha Aioli is the perfect opportunity! It’s creamy, garlicky, and has just the right amount of kick.

This sriracha aioli sauce has 5 ingredients and only 2 steps! Easy peasy. It’s most definitely splurge-worthy!
What is Aioli Sauce?
Aioli is a creamy emulsion blend that is garlicky, lemony, and very fresh tasting. Adding sriracha to traditional aioli gives it a nice boost of heat.
The base of aioli is olive oil or avocado oil emulsified with egg yolk. Then lemon or lime juice is added, depending on your flavor preference.
Aioli sauce has a similar consistency to mayo, but the addition of garlic gives aioli its very distinct flavor. My addition of sriracha makes it even better! (If you’re into flavors with a little kick.)
And homemade sriracha aioli is way better than store-bought. Plus it’s better for you because it’s made with oils that are good for you, rather than the highly processed oils often found in the store-bought varieties.
What Do You Eat Sriracha Aioli With?
The better question may be – what don’t you eat aioli with?? Ok, I’m kidding. (kind of). Sriracha aioli sauce can be used anywhere you would normally like a creamy, mayo-type of dressing or dip.
Think baked chicken wings or air fryer sweet potato fries or drizzled on a hearty salad or slathered on a sous vide burger…. or…. pretty much anything goes.
Ingredients in Sriracha Aioli
- Garlic – a lot of garlic! That’s what gives it the punchy taste! (see full recipe below)
- Lemon juice – this gives the sauce its brightness. You can also use lime juice.
- Avocado Oil – I like the flavor and neutrality of avocado oil for this sriracha aioli, but high-quality extra virgin olive oil is also very nice.
- Egg yolks – these give it the hefty body of the sauce.
- Sriracha – Feel free to use as much or as little as you like, depending on your heat preference. Sriracha has a medium level of spiciness so it will not be overpowering.
