Description

A spicy, savory blend of dehydrated jalapeno flakes and kosher salt, ground to your preferred texture—perfect for seasoning tacos, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and more with a fiery kick.


Ingredients

2 ½ lbs fresh jalapenos

¾ cup kosher salt


Instructions

  1. Wash and dry jalapenos. Remove stems and quarter lengthwise.
  2. Optional: Remove seeds from half the peppers for a milder spice level.
  3. Arrange on dehydrator trays and dry at 145°F (63°C) for ~14 hours until brittle.
  4. Blend dried jalapenos to desired texture—coarse or fine.
  5. Mix jalapeno powder with kosher salt by hand or pulse in a blender for finer texture.
  6. Transfer to a dry, airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

  • Ensure peppers are fully dry to avoid spoilage.
  • Adjust heat level by seed retention.
  • Customize flavor with additional herbs or spice powders.
  • Use only dry utensils to scoop to prevent clumping or mold.
