What Is Chili Powder (Er, Chile Powder..?)

Heat Level: Medium

Paprika is a simple spice with hidden complexity, making it special and versatile in the kitchen. Now, how does paprika compare to chili powder and cayenne?

Tip: If you’d like to reduce the heat, slit them open and remove the seeds because the seeds have the most heat in them. Mince the chillies or put them in the food processor. However, don’t make it a very fine paste. Keep it chunky for texture.

Bell peppers definitely have a less spicy flavor and heat level than the peppers used to make hot paprika. But I have tried bell pepper powder in many of my recipes, and it worked just fine.

Thanks to its versatility, it can be used as a condiment, seasoning, or marinade for all sorts of dishes. So go ahead and give it a try in your next recipe!
