Fiery Habanero Powder – Intensely Spicy for the Boldest Heat Lovers
This technique is for the spice lovers out there! Habanero peppers range from 100,000-400,000 Scoville Units, or in other words, they are fricken hot! And when you turn them into a powder, it condenses the spice even more.
Tip:When you dehydrate habanero peppers, they become very light and crisp when completely dehydrated. The powder can easily become air-borne and affect your eyes so it is a good idea to slowly remove the spice mill lid after the powder has settled.
Time & Temperature: Dehydrate at 57 °C for 4-7
Equipment: SAHARA Folding Dehydrator.
Ingredients:
- Handful of Habanero Peppers
Instructions:
- Slice habanero peppers very thin.
- Dehydrate on 57 °C for 4-7 hours. When they pass the snap test, they are ready.

- Store them in an airtight jar in a dry place.
