Ingredients
- 4 ounces cayenne peppers
Instructions
- Clean and dry the cayenne peppers. Wearing gloves, remove the stems and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds if you wish.
- Set the sliced cayenne peppers onto dehydrator sheets and dehydrate at 135 degrees F (or at your dehydrator's recommended temperature) for 8 hours, or until they are completely dried through.
- Crush the dried cayenne peppers in a mortar and pestle, or add them to a spice grinder and grind them to a powder.
- Sift the powder and process the remaining chunks until only a fine powder remains.
- Store in airtight containers.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Medium. Cayenne peppers have a fair amount of heat, but not overly so, which makes them an ideal seasoning for many spicy food lovers.
