Ingredients
- 1 lb jalapeños fresh
Instructions
- Wash the jalapeños under running water and pat them dry.
- Preheat the oven to 170°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the jalapeños and spread them evenly on the sheet in a single layer without crowding.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and let it dry for 2 hours.
- Turn off the oven, and let the jalapeño slices cool for the next 2 hours.
- Repeat the drying process by setting the oven to 170°F and allowing the slices to dry and cool until they become brittle.
- Once the jalapeños are fully cooled, dried, and brittle, transfer them to a blender or food processor.
- Pulse until they become a powder, adjusting to your preferred coarseness.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Notes
- Dryness is key to avoiding spoilage.
- You can leave the jalapeno slices in the oven during the cooling process.
