I was looking for something to jazz up sweet potatoes. My favorite burger restaurant makes a jalapeño aioli that dresses some of their burgers. I always get a side of it to dip my sweet potato fries into: little sweet + little spice = perfect! I don’t have their recipe so I gave my own a whirl. Success!
Ingredients:
4 tiny garlic cloves, roasted
2 jalapeños, slided until you hit seeds, then seed and dice
1 cup mayonnaise (homemade, canola or olive oil based for Whole 30)
1 tsp. dijon mustard (Westbrae Natural brand because it meets Whole 30 standards)
Juice from 1/4 lime (~3 tsp)
4 tbl. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 – 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
Pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 dashes coconut aminos
Method:
Cut the top of a head of garlic to expose the cloves. Brush the exposed cloves with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Wrap into a pouch with aluminum foil and bake at 425°F for 30 minutes. Squeeze 4 small cloves out, save remainder for any other use. Place 4 roasted garlic cloves, jalapeños, mayo, dijon, lime juice, olive oil, salt, one grind of fresh pepper, cayenne and coconut aminos in your food processor with blade attachment. Process until smooth.
