Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this fiery concoction:

10-12 red jalapeño peppers
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Juice of 1 lime
Water, as needed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). First things first - we want those peppers nice and roasted.
On a baking sheet, toss the red jalapeño peppers in olive oil to coat them evenly. Spread them out in a single layer.
Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and starting to char. Don’t be afraid to get a little color on them – that’s where the flavor is!
Once roasted, let the peppers cool for a few minutes. Don’t forget to wear gloves if you’re sensitive to heat – those jalapeños can pack a punch!
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peppers, minced garlic, white vinegar, salt, sugar, lime juice, and a splash of water (just enough to get it blending smoothly).
Blend until your sauce reaches your desired consistency - whether you like it chunky or smooth.
Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you want it spicier, feel free to add in some extra peppers or a pinch of cayenne!
Pour the hot sauce into a clean jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for a few weeks – but trust me, it won’t last that long!

And there you have it – a homemade roasted red jalapeño hot sauce that’s sure to elevate your dishes. Enjoy it on tacos, grilled meats, or just a good ol’ dipping sauce for your favorite snacks. Happy cooking, y’all!
