Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed
2 Fresno chiles, seeds removed if desired
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
2 small shallots, peeled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup (or more) unseasoned rice vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss bell pepper, chiles, garlic, shallots, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt. Turn garlic cut side down and roast until pepper and chiles are softened and blistered in spots, 10–15 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 2

    Squeeze garlic cloves out of their skins into a food processor. Add bell pepper, chiles, shallots, vinegar, and honey and process until smooth. Taste chili sauce and season with more salt and vinegar if needed.

  2. Do Ahead
