1
Prepare the Peppers
Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
3
Create the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice blend.
4
Sauté the Aromatics
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Cook the Peppers
Add the prepared jalapeño halves to the skillet. Sprinkle the spice mix over the peppers and toss to coat evenly.
6
Add Hot Sauce
Drizzle the hot sauce over the sautéed peppers and stir well. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the peppers are tender but still have some crunch.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the peppers and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, black pepper, or hot sauce according to your preference.
8
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a spicy appetizer or side dish.
