Favourite (Vegan) Hot Sauces

If there’s one thing that takes a good meal to the next level, it’s hot sauce. That perfect balance of heat, tang, and flavor can instantly elevate everything from breakfast to dinner—and let’s be real, sometimes even snacks. Over the years, I’ve tried dozens of brands, from local finds to cult favorites, and a few have earned a permanent spot in my kitchen. Whether you're into bold and smoky, sweet and spicy, or straight-up fire, there’s a hot sauce out there that just gets you.

In this post, I’m sharing my all-time favorite hot sauces—the ones I reach for daily, bring to potlucks, and recommend to anyone who loves to add a little heat to their plate. Each one brings something special, and most of them are made right here in Canada, which makes supporting them even sweeter (or spicier). Let’s dive into the bottles that bring serious flavor and keep my meals far from boring.
