Ingredients

• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or set your broiler to high.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Once cooled, peel off the charred skin from the red pepper. Remove the stem, seeds, and inner membranes. Set the roasted pepper flesh aside.

Step 5

In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika to suit your preference.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for fries, or a condiment for grilled meats and veggies. Enjoy!
