How to Make a Vegan Spicy Mayo

Making this vegan spicy mayo for your grilled corn is super easy. You just need five ingredients (six if you include the salt)! To make this mayo, you’ll simply combine all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and set it aside until you’re ready to use it. If you want, you can even transfer it to a squeeze bottle like I did if you want to get cute and make a design.

While I’m in the prepping stage, I like to also chop up my cilantro for a little garnish. It adds a nice fresh touch to the dish. Prepping all of the ingredients ahead of time will help ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly, which means you’ll be able to enjoy your Vegan Spicy Mayo Grilled Corn while it’s hot!

How to Make Grilled Corn on the Cob

Making grilled corn is pretty easy. If you’ve never done it, now is the perfect time to give it a try! You’ll start by preheating your grill so that it’s ready for you once you’ve prepped your corn. Next, you’ll remove the husk from the corn and dispose of it. Now that your corn is prepped and ready you’ll want to brush it with a generous spread of melted vegan butter. Now it’s time to put these babies on the grill!

Vegan Spicy Mayo Grilled Corn

In my experience, grilling corn usually takes about 20-25 minutes before it’s ready. As you can see, I like mine extra charred, so cook at your discretion if that’s not your thing. It’s also helpful to keep the lid closed when grilling so that the temperature is able to properly elevate. Mine usually reaches around 350 degrees. I like to rotate the corn every 10 minutes or so or until the corn is visibly charred. Once all sides are cooked, it’s time for the toppings!

Different ways to Enjoy Spicy Mayo

This spicy mayo is great for much more than grilled corn! You’ll have some left over, so you might be wondering what else you can use it for. Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy it:

  • Burgers
  • Potato wedges or fries
  • Other grilled veggies
  • Sandwiches
  • Anything else you can think of!
