Using a dehydrator, it’s easy to make your own bright green jalapeno powder at home. Here’s how:
How to make your own Jalapeño powder
Ingredients
Scale
1 lb fresh jalapenos
Instructions
- Prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems, then slicing into small 1/4 inch rounds.
- Place the jalapenos in a dehydrator machine, and dehydrate for 4-6 hours. The jalapenos should be very dry – if there are parts that are still moist your powder will get sticky/tacky quickly.
- Place the dehydrated jalapenos into a spice grinder and blend until they become a fine powder. You may need to work in batches.
- Store the powder in an airtight jar in a cool dry place.
Notes
For a less spicy powder, remove and discard the seeds before grinding.
Hi, what temperature do you put the dehydrator on?
Mine didnt have a temperature option, sorry
I believe it’s 125 degrees in a dehydrator and can take up to 10hrs depending on if you leave whole with slices punctured throughout or if you slice them 1/4 inch before dehydrating and how big a batch you are dehydrating. I’m not an expert, just a dabbler of dehydrating. I slice and dehydrate approx 6-8hrs depending on the batch size.
What’s up with the color of it in the photo? looks more like wasabe powder did u add something to it?
nope! just fresh.
great tips thank you!!!
The powder includes outside and ribs. It naturally would be a little lighter green. I use 115-120F. Some people recommend 125-135 but then it’s not as green and they’re almost cook and leathery. Go lower, longer. They have oils so it takes time.
