    Fyi, if you grow your own jalapenos, if you want them to be spicier, basically starve them of water. Literally use the least amount of water necessary to keep it alive and ‘healthy’ and it should make for good peppers. Source- I googled how to make jalapenos spicier because I thought roasting them made them hotter… Only makes them milder… boohoo

      If you’ve got the patience, you might be able to dehydrate them to make them feel spicier.

        I did end up air frying them with onions and then blended them up with vinegar, salt, garlic cloves and powder, cayenne, and red pepper flakes. I also simmered it for a little bit too.

Or maybe whenever I wanna splurge a lil. sans-shrug
