Dont waste, save those tomato 🍅 skins. Dehydrate then and grind them in to a tomato powder. Then use them to thicken soups for later use!

Its pepper season so let's smoke some Paprika. Its a great way to preserve those amazing peppers for winter.
Instructions:
1) pick peppers hot or mild and wash them (I used a variety of sweet bells and Jimmy Nerdello)
2) Remove seeds (not required but I prefer no seeds in my spices)
3) cut peppers in half or quarters
4) smoke on a smoker for 1-2 hours
5) Remove peppers and place them on drying dehydrator sheets
6) dehydrate at 135 degrees until fully dried mine took 2 days to fully dry. The smaller the pieces the faster they will dehydrate, but can be harder to put on the smoker if you dont have a small grate)
7) grind to a powder with a spice grinder (i highly recommend the Cuisinart brand we love ours)
8) store in an air tight container
9) Enjoy
