Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Spoon or chopstick
  • Blender or food processor
  • Tupperware container with lid or bowl and plastic wrap
  • Container to hold sauce
  • Optionally: aluminum foil or parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 6 large jalapeño peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup neutral flavored oil (canola oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil) plus a bit more for drizzling
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 3 tsp white vinegar or to taste (can also skip this ingredient)

Instructions

  • Wash and dry 6 large jalapeño peppers and 2 garlic cloves (unpeeled) and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Drizzle oil across the top of the jalapeño peppers.
  • Place the baking sheet with jalapeño peppers and garlic cloves into the oven and broil on high for 6 minutes.
  • After 6 minutes, take out the garlic cloves from the oven and leave to cool. Flip the jalapeño peppers upside down and broil for another 6 minutes on the other side.
  • When the jalapeño peppers have blistered and the skin has turned brown, take out of the oven and immediately place it into either a Tupperware container with a lid or a bowl with a plastic wrap. Leave the jalapeños to continue cooking and steaming for 10 minutes.
  • After the 10 minutes are up, remove most of the blistered skin from the jalapeños and place into a blender and food processor along with the 2 peeled garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of oil, salt, and white vinegar. *Note, if you can't handle a lot of spice, remove some of the jalapeño seeds at this point with a spoon or a pair of chopsticks.
  • Remove from the blender, and place in an airtight container for up to a week! Enjoy on EVERYTHING!
