Home-Style Habanero Hot Sauce is a popular condiment in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. This hot sauce recipe brings together the spicy heat of habanero peppers with the savory flavors of roasted garlic and onions. Cilantro adds a fresh and bright taste to the sauce, while white wine vinegar gives it a tangy kick. The roasted vegetables give the sauce a smoky depth of flavor, making it a versatile and delicious addition to any dish.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2.	Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3.	Cut the onions in half, drizzle them, along with the garlic cloves and habanero peppers, with olive oil.
4.	Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

6.	Add the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor with the white wine vinegar, salt, and fresh cilantro.
7.	Pulse until the mixture is well combined, but not completely smooth. You want to keep some texture to the sauce.
8.	Season with additional salt, if needed. Pour the sauce into a clean jar and store it in the fridge for up to 1 month.
