In this video, we share how to dehydrate peppers using a dehydrator. If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can use basically the same method, but in your oven or toaster oven. For thin peppers, you can even hang them to air-dry. Drying peppers is a super easy way to preserve for harvests for later use, or for a tasty cayenne powder replacement!
We also use our fresh hot pepper powder to make a batch of spicy homemade chips. These are easy to make using flour tortillas, olive oil, and some herbs and spices. They came out great!

I'm trying to find a way to dispose of a bag full of ceyenne pepper that sat around for so long, the pepper ate many little holes in the plastic bag. I can't dump it down the drain or toilet to maybe kill the good bacteria in the septic tank. Also, I wouldn't want to dump it on the ground for some innocent critter to come in contact with it and I don't want the birds at the dump to come into contact with it. Any good ideas out there on proper disposal?
Also, if you're making flakes, powder or just planning to store whole dried chilis, a silica pack in the container will help with caking and allow you to store much longer.
Ever touched a fresh tattoo with pepper hands? I’m heavily tattood n this just crossed my mind 😳
Washing your hands "a few times" after wearing gloves while touching any of the fruit you are talking about is silly. Were you still hiding in your house, afraid to go outside and be in contact with other human beings, when you made this video?
Don’t you loose a lot of heat by removing the white membrane? I know the seeds themselves have no heat but the white membrane does. Could you shake / tease the seeds out after you dry them?
Evidently there is still plenty of heat in the peppers after you remove the seeds/membrane, you still had a very hot chips. There are a lot of misconceptions out there that I am trying to sort my way through.
Loved the pokemon jam jar milk glass!!
Yet another awesome video. A question though. I've read that the leaves from the plants are very flavorful as well, but when I type into a search engine about dehydrating the leaves, all I find are how to dehydrate just the peppers. Any experience with dehydrating the leaves?
Very helpful!
What brand & model dehydrator di you use??
11:56 i love how stoic she is. What a ride or die woman
We always make powder from all the leftover peppers from the garden we find when we pull the plants at the end of the season. We have one bottle we call Death Powder and we have been cursed by guest (who were warned) that applied too much to their food. I love it.
Use the mechanics hand wash. Strips of all the oil.
I'd leave the innards in that's where the heat is, just sift out the unwanted seeds if you must.
Did the pepper smell permeate in your house while drying?
Place a zip bag over your blender when powdering peppers. They are heavy enough not to fly off and no holes for powder to escape into the air.
i just cut up 5 ghost peppers. and licked my finger by accident. but it was kind of nice this year. last year it was pure agony.
I don't believe you ate that 1st chip whole without testing them first.
I love dried chilis and I think the best is Pemente de Espelet from the Basque region. Especially as a finishing seasoning with seafood. If you haven’t tried it you must.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Excellent video. Very informative. Thanks
I've minced chillies…. i no the burn… milk doesn't help…
Whats the name of them purple peppers? I'd like to grow some.
Gonna make me some chips, uh, (plain chips)😂… p.s when I make hot sauce, I don't wear gloves, but I oil my hands ! No hot bits n pieces 😅😅
Is that "secret milk" fresh from the pokemon?
Yea the ladies don't appreciate jalapeno hands that's for sure. XD
Him: "Jalapeno flavor, but with some heat."
Me: jalapenos are so hot.😅
