Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
5 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
-
Pinch cayenne
-
Salt
-
1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (about 3), peeled and cut into approximately 4-by-1/2-inch sticks
-
5 carrots, cut into approximately 2 1/2-by-1/2-inch sticks
-
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
-
1 pound asparagus, tough ends snapped off
-
3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered
Directions
- Heat the oven to 450°. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon juice, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Put the potatoes and carrots on a large baking sheet and toss them with 2 tablespoons of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the bell-pepper strips on a second large baking sheet and toss them with 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. After 15 minutes, take the first pan out of the oven and turn the vegetables with a spatula. Put both pans in the oven and roast for 5 minutes. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Put the asparagus on the pan with the peppers. Roast until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Serve the roasted vegetables and hard-cooked eggs with the aioli.
Notes
Variations:
Plenty of other vegetables lend themselves to roasting. Try wedges of sweet potato or fennel, whole scallions or mushrooms, or halved Brussels sprouts.
