Homemade Chili Powder
Report
Most store-bought chili powders have too many ingredients! But if you grind your own you'll get a pure, delicious flavor that will work wonders in your home cooking.

Ingredients
- 5-6 ancho chili dried
- 7-8 guajillo chili dried
- 2 chiles de árbol optional
Instructions
- Start by wiping off any dusty crevasses on the dried chilis, then de-stem and de-seed them. I find it easiest to cut off the tops, make a slit lengthwise, and then pull out the veins and seeds. Be sure to use caution when handling hot chilis.
- Roast the chili pieces in a 350F oven for a couple minutes or until warm and fragrant. You can alternatively flash roast them on a hot dry skillet.
- Grind the roasted chili pieces in a blender or food processor. You can optionally use a spice grinder for a finer powder.
- This batch will make 1/2 cup of pure chili powder that will fit into a 4 oz. spice jar. Store in the pantry (away from the heat of the stove) where it will keep for weeks at a time.
Notes
- Always use caution when handling hot chili peppers. I use my hands along with plenty of handwashing, but if you have sensitive skin you can always use gloves. More info on handling hot chilis.

- And if you don't have great options for buying dried chilis in your area see our post on buying dried chilis online.
