Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Place the red bell pepper on the prepared baking sheet and roast it in the oven for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the roasted bell pepper from the oven and place it in a heat-safe bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit for 10 minutes to steam, making the skin easier to remove.
While the pepper is steaming, finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Carefully peel the charred skin off the roasted bell pepper and remove the stem and seeds. Pat the flesh dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, minced garlic, mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the Roasted Pepper Caper Aioli to a serving bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dipping sauce, spread, or accompaniment, and enjoy!
