It's punchy, memorable, and captures that sweet-heat balance without overthinking it.
This roasted garlic cayenne sauce brings together deep, caramelized garlic flavor with a lively cayenne kick and just a touch of sweetness to round it all out. It's bold without being overwhelming. It is the kind of sauce that adds complexity to everything you enjoy it with. The roasted garlic provides a rich, savory backbone, while the cayenne delivers a clean heat that doesn't linger too long. That hint of sweetness ties it all together, making this a versatile, everyday sauce that works as a dip, marinade, or finishing drizzle.
My second hot sauce idea when I started this adventure, and it is still one of my any day of the week go to sauces for flavor, balance, universal use.
