Transfer the roasted red pepper aioli to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The aioli will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For a smokier flavor, roast the red peppers yourself over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackened. Place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes, then peel away the skins.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use only 1 or 2 cloves. For a bolder flavor, add more.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the ingredients by hand and whisk them together in a bowl.
This aioli can also be used as a dip for vegetables, spread on sandwiches, or as a flavorful addition to potato salad.
Experiment with different herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or oregano, to create your own unique flavor variations.

Jun 26, 2025The aioli was a bit too runny for my liking, so I added a bit more mayonnaise to thicken it up. It was perfect after that!

Jun 6, 2025I found the aioli to be a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sugar. Otherwise, it's a fantastic recipe!
