Fresno hot sauce is a homemade roasted pepper sauce made with ripe red Fresno peppers, red bell pepper, onion, garlic, white vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt. This recipe creates a bright red sauce with fruity pepper flavor, mild smoky notes, moderate heat, and a clean tangy finish. Charring the peppers and vegetables develops roasted sweetness while keeping the fresh character of Fresno peppers. Fresno peppers typically range from 2,500 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), creating a moderate spice level that works well for everyday meals. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and produces approximately 2 cups (480 ml) of smooth, pourable hot sauce. Serve it with tacos, eggs, grilled chicken, seafood, fried rice, noodles, roasted vegetables, and other savory dishes.
