Roasted Red Jalapeño Pepper Hot Sauce

This roasted red jalapeño pepper hot sauce is perfect for adding a kick to everything from tacos to grilled meats. It’s smoky, tangy, and oh-so-satisfying!

Ingredients

8-10 red jalapeño peppers
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional for extra smokiness)

Instructions

Begin by preparing your jalapeño peppers. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the peppers in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the skins start to blister and char. This enhances the smoky flavor of the sauce.
Once roasted, remove the jalapeños from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. After cooling, peel off the skin (you can leave some char on for added flavor) and remove the stems if desired.
In a blender, combine the roasted jalapeños, minced garlic, white vinegar, salt, sugar, olive oil, and smoked paprika (if using). Blend until smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a little water until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste your hot sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt or sugar based on your preference.
Once blended, transfer your hot sauce to a sterilized bottle or jar. It’s great to let the flavors meld in the fridge for at least a day before using, but it’s also delicious right away!
Keep your hot sauce refrigerated for up to a month. Enjoy it liberally on all your favorite dishes!

Make this hot sauce your go-to condiment and impress your friends and family with your culinary prowess. It’s easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for any meal!
