Elevate your condiment game with this velvety Roasted Red Pepper Mayo, a flavor-packed twist on traditional mayonnaise. This homemade spread combines the smoky sweetness of fire-roasted red bell peppers with creamy mayonnaise, a touch of zesty lemon juice, and a hint of garlic for depth. Smoked paprika adds a subtle warmth, while salt and black pepper perfect the balance of flavors. Quick to prepare and irresistibly versatile, this condiment is ideal as a sandwich spread, a dipping sauce for crispy fries, or an accompaniment to grilled meats and veggies. It's the ultimate way to add gourmet flair to your favorite dishes with minimal effort!
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or set your broiler to high.
Place the red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast in the oven or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides (about 10-15 minutes).
Remove the roasted red pepper from the oven and immediately transfer it to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let it steam for 5-10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.
Once cooled, peel off the charred skin from the red pepper. Remove the stem, seeds, and inner membranes. Set the roasted pepper flesh aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika to suit your preference.
Transfer the roasted red pepper mayo to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for fries, or a condiment for grilled meats and veggies. Enjoy!
