How to Dry Bell Peppers

• Red peppers
• Green peppers
• Orange peppers

1. Blanch peppers: (blanching peppers in boiling water preserves the color and flavor of the peppers.) Remove tops from peppers, remove membranes and seeds. Fill a large pot half full with water, bring water to a full boil. Add the peppers to the water. When the water returns to a boil, boil peppers for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the peppers with a large wire mesh strainer and immediately transfer the peppers to a bowl filled with ice water. Remove from ice water and allow the peppers to dry for 5 minutes.
2. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Cut the peppers into thin slices no more than 1/4-inch thick. Thicker slices become leathery when dried and my not become crisp enough to make into flakes. Place pepper strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 150º for hours or until peppers are dry and crisp.
3. Remove from oven and crush into flakes.
4. Store in an air-tight container.
