I harvested a dozen red paprika peppers, cut them into slices and dried them in a convection oven. Drying was on a pizza pan, half hour at a time for three hours. The pepper slices were just crispy.
Outside on my porch, I ground the slices and seeds into dust with an electric coffee grinder.
Product so far should last a couple years and I have more peppers to pick...

That’s great. We have several spices that we dried, and we also took an overabundance of green onions one year, and made onion powder using the blender. It’s lasted about 2 years so far.LOL
