Red Pepper Flakes

42 recipes 0 guides

These dried chile flakes add sharp, lingering heat and small bursts of color without the fresh, vegetal flavor of whole peppers. Briefly blooming them in oil softens their bite and spreads their flavor through sauces, soups, dressings, and marinades; adding them late keeps the heat more distinct. The common mistake is scorching them, which turns their flavor bitter.
