🏠 Can You Make Paprika at Home? Yes!
It’s easier than you think.
What You’ll Need
6–8 ripe red bell peppers (fully red = sweeter, deeper color)
A dehydrator or low-temperature oven
A spice grinder or high-powered blender
Steps
Remove stems, seeds, and white ribs
Slice peppers thinly
Dry until brittle:
Dehydrator: 125°F (52°C) for 8–12 hours
Oven: 170°F (lowest setting) for 4–6 hours, door slightly open
Grind into a fine powder
Store in an airtight jar (keeps 6+ months)
✨ Pro tip: Add a pinch of salt or smoked salt for extra complexity.
