Oven Dried Hot Peppers-Flakes Or Powder

1. 1

   I cut them in half or even quarters so the flesh is open and dries out faster and more even.

2. 2

   Place them on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper on it in only one layer.

3. 3

   I dry peppers at 200F degrees.

4. 4

   Keep an eye on them and remove those that are dry as need be so they don`t burn.

5. 5

   It can take 1-3 hours.

6. 6

   You can crush them to make flakes or grind them to make a chili powder.

7. 7

   Use a coffee grinder or food processor once they are cooled. And grind to flakes or powder.

8. 8

   Store in a glass jar out of sunlight.
