HOMEMADE CHILI POWDER RECIPE
WHAT IS CHILI POWDER?
This nut-free granola recipe is a crunch cereal made primarily out of oats and is sweetened with honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
WHAT DOES THIS HOMEMADE CHILI POWDER TASTE LIKE?
Depending on how much cayenne pepper you use (in this case not too much), your chili powder will taste mild to moderately spicy. The flavors of chili powder are common in Tex-Mex food.
CHILI POWDER INGREDIENTS
- Cayenne pepper – 2 teaspoons
- Ground cumin – 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
- Dried oregano – 1/4 cup
- Paprika – 1/3 cup
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST HOMEMADE CHILI POWDER RECIPE
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.
- Using a small whisk, or fork, stir all the ingredients until well combined.
- Use promptly, or store in an airtight container for future use.
CAN YOU MAKE CHILI SEASONING AHEAD OF TIME?
Absolutely! I like to have a jar of this seasoning for chili and all sorts of homemade spices on hand for whenever the craving strikes.
As a rule of thumb, when making spice blends: the earliest expiration date on your ingredients is now the new expiration date for your homemade chili seasoning.
