Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Use smoked paprika instead of sweet for a deeper, more complex flavor.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste — omit for mild, double for spicy.
Storage:
- Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. The flavor is strongest in the first 3 months.
Swaps:
- Add ¼ tsp cayenne for extra heat, or ½ tsp dried chipotle for a smoky kick.
Tips:
- Make a big batch and store in a labeled jar — use it on roasted vegetables, grain bowls, soups, and dips too.
