Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Ready In: 35 Minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
1/2 sweet onion, quartered
1/2 pound tomatoes, halved crosswise
1 large green bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 fresh charleston hot or habanero chile, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 to 3 teaspoons white-wine vinegar, or to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Toss onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, and chile with oil in a shallow (1-inch) baking pan and arrange vegetables, cut sides down, in 1 layer. Roast, turning onion once or twice, until vegetables are charred and tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Discard skins from tomatoes and bell pepper. Chop tomatoes and drain in a sieve, discarding juices. Finely chop onion and bell pepper. Mince chile.
4. Mince garlic and mash to a paste with kosher salt. In a bowl, blend together mayonnaise, garlic paste, and black pepper. Add chile, about 1/4 at a time, tasting for desired heat. Stir in tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and vinegar.
5. Aioli can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
