This simple roasted garlic and dill aioli sauce is easy to make, full of flavor and the perfect addition to BBQ season. Add it to burgers, chicken or use as a dipping sauce for fries!

Any time I go to a restaurant where they serve burgers or chicken sandwiches, I always look to see if they serve aioli sauce. It is truly such a delicious addition to especially a burger, but even for dipping fries and other goodies! I’m a sucker for garlic, so adding in roasted garlic into this sauce makes it extra delicious. Dill is also one of my favorite herbs and I sneak it into anything I can. Therefore, this garlic and dill aioli sauce is super delicious!

While you can use minced garlic in this recipe, roasting garlic takes it to another level. Roasting garlic makes it wonderfully fragrant and flavorful. It turns the garlic from a hard to super creamy and spreadable.

    Fresh or dry dill? I’ll try with fresh since it is in my garden, and add more if it should have been dried. It sounds so good I hope it lasts until I can add more,- I had better plan on a few “trials” before we are done :)

      Hi Carrie! Yes, I use dry dill in this recipe, but fresh will work too! I've seen the rule of thumb is 1 tbs fresh dill for every teaspoon of dry, so I would recommend using 3 tbs of fresh dill. I hope you love it!

  • Sounds amazing! Love both dill and garlic, a perfect match! Any time I use the oven or grill, several heads of garlic go on just so we have some for anything we wish to make. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
