Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the red onion and slice it into quarters, leaving the root end intact to help hold the pieces together.
Place the onion quarters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Roast the onion in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are caramelized and the onion is soft.
While the onion is roasting, finely grate or mince the garlic clove.
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.
In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted onion, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and paprika (if using). Mix thoroughly to combine.
Taste the mayo and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Use as a condiment for sandwiches, a dip for fries, or a topping for grilled meats and vegetables.
