Ingredients

• Assorted fresh red chiles

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 150ºF. Arrange chiles in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until thoroughly dried out (they should still be slightly pliable when warm), 12–16 hours.
2. To make custom chile flakes, once cool, crush dried chiles in spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
3. Dried chiles can be kept indefinitely. Store airtight at room temperature.
