Perfect Game Day Dips- Sriracha Aioli, Avocado Ranch, and Basil Aioli

Over the last few weeks I have been brainstorming about what to make for the big game coming up in a few weeks. We love dips at our house, as well french fries, air fryer asparagus fries, and green bean fries! I wanted a little variety, so I decided to ship up 3 different dips, a trio!

The dips are really easy to throw together, and don’t take many ingredients, which make cooking on game day a lot less stressful.

I whipped up the Avocado Ranch for my husband, because he LOVES avocados and ranch. I love avocados, but 4 years ago my body decided it didn’t like them and now I am deathly allergic…weird, right? Anyway, my husband said he loved the way the creamy avocado ranch balanced the spicy chipotle sweet potato fries. Perfect combo!

Then I decided to make a creamy spicy sriracha aioli. I lightened it up a bit by using greek yogurt instead of all mayo.  This is a spicy one, but if you like less spice, you can just use less sriracha! It was SO good with the crispy onion rings!

Lastly I made a cool and creamy basil aioli. I absolutely love fresh basil, and blending it together to make an aioli was perfect! It paired well with both the onion rings and the spicy chipotle sweet potato fries.
