This summer’s chili harvest brought us an abundance of fiery goodness, and what better way to preserve those flavors than drying? The vibrant mix of dried chili slices not only looks stunning but also holds intense heat and flavor for future culinary adventures.
Dried chilis are incredibly versatile—they can be ground into spice blends, crushed for chili flakes, or rehydrated for use in soups and stews. They’re also an ideal way to ensure no pepper goes to waste!
Drying peppers is simple: slice them thinly and either use a dehydrator or air-dry them in a warm, dry space. Once dried, store them in airtight containers to lock in the flavor. This method not only saves your harvest but also gives you a stash of spice for the months ahead.
