Instructions
 

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Taste and adjust to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The mayo is the base of the recipe, so using a creamy, high-quality brand makes a big difference.
  • For maximum flavor, make sure your spices are fresh and not past their prime.
  • Whisk or stir well to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mayo. To achieve a smoother consistency, sprinkle the spices and seasonings on top of the mixture instead of dumping them in a pile.
  • Start with a small amount of cayenne pepper and gradually add more to match your spice tolerance.
  • Add a splash of soy sauce, sriracha, or sesame oil for an extra layer of complexity.
  • Let the spicy mayo rest in the fridge for at least 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Serve spicy mayonnaise as a dip for french fries, onion rings, sweet potato wedges, parmesan potatoes, chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy as a spread for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps or a creamy addition to tacos, burritos, or chicken quesadillas. Drizzle on top of homemade pizza, sushi rolls, or even breakfast dishes like sheet pan eggs and potato fritters.
Store: Transfer spicy mayo into a transparent airtight container or a recycled glass bottle. This helps me keep track of its freshness. When stored in the fridge, spicy mayonnaise stays good for about 3 to 4 weeks. Do not freeze.
