This Vanilla Bean Aioli Sauce is a luxurious dipping and topping! We love it with homemade (or from frozen) sweet potato French Fries or Tots! It would also be perfect on a hamburger with caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles. The possibilities are really endless and we’d love to hear what you enjoy this aioli with!

Uses
Directions
For the Vanilla Aioli
- Add all ingredients to a food processor except olive oil and blend until combined (20-30 seconds)
- Scoop mixture into a bowl and slowly whisk in olive oil by hand until combined
- Note: Take the incorporation of the olive oil slowly! If you go too fast, you might break the aioli, causing it to look curdled.
For the Sweet Potato Fries
- If using bag of sweet potato fries, cook as directed. While fries are cooking, whisk seasoning together. When sweet potato fries are done, toss in seasoning and serve
- To make your own: Preheat oven to 425
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil
- Slice sweet potato fries into desired shape (we sliced them into ~1/2inch fries to make them crispier)
- Mix seasonings together
- Toss sweet potatoes in oil and then toss into olive oil and seasoning mixture until evenly coated
- Bake for 15 minutes and flip, baking for another 10-15 minutes until cooked through and slightly crispy
Notes:
- We also tested sweet potato fries in the air fryer and recommend working in batches and following your air fryer's manufacturer directions to achieve fry perfection.
