Serrano hot sauce is a homemade roasted pepper sauce made with fresh green serrano peppers, garlic, ginger, distilled white vinegar, salt, and olive oil. This recipe creates a fresh, tangy sauce with clean serrano heat, roasted garlic depth, and a bright acidic finish. Roasting softens the peppers and garlic while adding deeper roasted flavors without removing the fresh green pepper character. Serrano peppers typically range from 10,000 to 23,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), creating a moderate heat level that is stronger than jalapeños while remaining suitable for everyday meals. The recipe takes about 55 minutes and produces approximately 2 cups (480 ml) of strained serrano hot sauce. Serve it with tacos, burritos, eggs, grilled chicken, pork, fish, shrimp, rice bowls, spring rolls, pho, noodle dishes, and other savory foods.
