How To Make Keto Aioli
I use store-bought mayonnaise as the base and then add flavors that transform the sauce. I know some recipes make homemade mayo as the base, and if you are up for that, go for it. I find reaching for a quality mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) will still offer richness to the sauce.
Step One: First, you want to start out by mincing up your garlic really fine.
Step Two: Then add to a bowl along with your mayo, stone-ground mustard, lemon juice, and cayenne. Give a good whisk until well incorporated. Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve this.
Common Questions
Is Mayo Keto?
A lot of people wonder is mayo keto? The short answer is yes. You want to watch for added sugar and preservatives but mayo is primarily oil plus eggs so both of those ingredients are keto friendly.
Is Aioli just Mayonnaise
My keto aioli sauce has mayonnaise as the base of the sauce, but by adding in fresh lemon, garlic, and more it adds such flavor and depth to the mayo I think it makes it stand out from being called 'just mayo.'
How to Crush Garlic Without A Garlic Press
You want to make sure your garlic is excellent, so mince it super small. What I do is take the flat part of a knife and set it over the peeled garlic and smash it with my hand. Then once your garlic is smashed, start dicing it up, so it is minced. Then scrape the garlic into a bowl and mix with the rest of your ingredients.
Ways To Use Aioli Sauce
Create a homemade tartar sauce with this as the base
Dip chips or fresh veggies in the aioli
Spread onto sandwiches in replace of mayo or mustard
Top meats with it for mealtime
Season steamed or roasted vegetables with this sauce
Or eat however else sounds good.
There is no wrong way to eat this keto aioli. We use it for so many things in our kitchen; I just can't get enough of it. If you like garlic, stone mustard, and mayo, I think this recipe will fit your liking.
Can You Freeze Aioli
I hate to say it, but this aioli recipe will not freeze well. The sauce will separate as it thaws from being frozen, leaving you something that is less than appealing.
Best Way to Store Aioli Sauce
You will want to store the keto aioli sauce in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Any leftovers you may have, keep in the refrigerator until you are prepared. This sauce will last around three days in the fridge. Just give a good stir before using each time.
Can I Make Aioli with Mayo Ahead of Time
You can make it ahead of time. The farthest in advance I would make this is about one day. After that, you will be getting the altered flavor of the sauce as it sets and the garlic begins to grow pungent. So feel free to make 24 hours in advance, anything longer I would wait till it becomes closer to time you plan to serve.

Is Aioli Keto-Friendly? A one tablespoon serving is this sauce contains approximately 97 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrates, making it suitable for a low-carb or keto-friendly lifestyle.
Yes — assuming you avoid mayonnaise that's high in sugar or other carbs. Since ketosis is about restricting carbs to low levels and initiating your body's consumption of fats over sugars, mayo's high-fat, low-sugar profile makes it very keto-friendly.
What Is Aioli? Aioli is a mayonnaise based sauce with lemon juice and garlic. Commonly used in Spanish cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with burgers, fries, vegetables, potatoes, chicken, or even sandwiches. It has minimal ingredients, is gluten and dairy-free, and comes together in less than 5 minutes.
Although aioli and mayonnaise are both creamy emulsions, aioli is made from garlic and olive oil while mayo is made from egg yolks and canola oil. The final result may look similar but the two sauces have distinctly different flavors.
Mayonnaise is the perfect condiment for the Keto Diet because it consists of high fat, low protein, and zero carbohydrates. It also has many health benefits that can help you maintain Ketosis and achieve your weight loss goals on the Keto diet.
The best choices for keto-friendly mayonnaise are made with healthy ingredients like avocado oil, cage-free eggs, vinegar without added high-fructose corn syrup and artificial preservatives. While most store-bought mayonnaise have keto-friendly macros, that doesn't mean they are healthy choices.
A typical serving of mayonnaise is about 1 tablespoon, which provides around 10-12 grams of fat and less than 1 gram of carbohydrates. As with any food on a keto diet, it is important to track your intake of mayonnaise and other condiments to ensure that you stay within your daily macros.
Garlic has always been part of this French condiment, so calling it "garlic aioli" is kind of redundant. They are, in fact, one in the same. Commonly served as a dip with fresh or cooked vegetables, aioli is also stirred into soups and stews like Bourride, a Provencal fish stew.
Traditional aioli is essentially a garlic oil, and not mayonnaise, nor a garlic flavored mayonnaise. A classic mayonnaise involves the emulsion of egg yolk and oil. Each of these two sauces has many variations. This causes even more confusion for those with little culinary knowledge.
My easy aioli recipe is made with—wait for it—mayonnaise! To make it, you simply soak minced garlic in lemon juice for 10 minutes, strain it out, and stir the garlicky lemon juice into the mayonnaise. Essentially, you're using mayonnaise as the creamy base, and adding the most characteristic aioli flavors to it.
Overall, aioli offers minimal health benefits but it does enhance the flavor and palatability of the dishes it is added to like meats, vegetables, and sandwiches. There is even some evidence that when a consumer enjoys the taste of their food, they may find it more satiating, which in turn may aid in weight management.
Since about 1990, it has become common in the United States to call all flavored mayonnaises aioli. Purists insist that flavored mayonnaise can contain garlic, but true aioli contains garlic and no other seasoning (except salt).
Aioli Spread, a tantalizing mix of garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and usually egg yolks, comes jam-packed with a surprising amount of carbs. To be precise, it contains 9.09 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.
Ketchup, tomato sauce, and tomato paste are not very keto friendly. Tomatoes are one of the higher carb veggies and there are usually some added sugars in there. That being said, there are some great options out there for lower sugar versions but they still have some carbs.
Primal Kitchen mayo is a go-to brand for the keto diet and probably the most popular mayonnaise brand on the market today. Made with avocado oil and organic eggs, their avocado oil mayo is the best choice for the ketogenic diet!
