Ingredients

• 1 large Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the red onion and slice it into quarters, leaving the root end intact to help hold the pieces together.

Step 3

Place the onion quarters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Roast the onion in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are caramelized and the onion is soft.

Step 5

While the onion is roasting, finely grate or mince the garlic clove.

Step 6

Once the onion is roasted, allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Then, remove the root end and chop the onion into small pieces or puree it in a food processor for a smoother texture.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted onion, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and paprika (if using). Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 8

Taste the mayo and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Use as a condiment for sandwiches, a dip for fries, or a topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
