Why We Love It: If you’re a habanero devotee, this hot sauce surely won’t disappoint. We’ve combined one of our favorite hot peppers with ingredients like carrots, onion, and honey, for a bold yet balanced flavor. The ingredients play off one another for a versatile hot sauce that you can use on anything from tacos and beans to chicken and spaghetti—seriously!

Spicy ketchup will obviously be sweeter and very mild in comparison to Sriracha, so as an ingredient, it’s good for big proportions (like for meatloaf). We wouldn’t use it for more authentic chili sauce needs (go with Sriracha there), but based on your recipe context, it can work.

In the vibrant palette of culinary spices, the color red takes a prominent spot—embodying both the allure and the promise of heat that can kick the flavor of any dish up a notch. Although these spices share a common color, their origins, taste profiles and uses in cooking are distinct, making each one an indispensable ingredient in its own right.

While smoked paprika gives a dish depth, sweet paprika is a classic staple and can be used in almost every dish alongside garlic and onion. Use the following spices instead to get the paprika flavor when you don’t have any on hand.

Hot sauce shines when used as a table condiment or added to recipes that call for a spicy kick. It's great with eggs, tacos, and soups, and also as a marinade for grilling.
