Homemade Roasted Red Jalapeno Chili Powder ### Ingredients:

10-15 fresh red jalapenos
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the jalapenos: Wash the jalapenos thoroughly and pat them dry. Remove the stems and cut them in half lengthwise. You can choose to remove the seeds for a milder flavor or leave them in for extra heat.
Toss with olive oil: In a bowl, toss the jalapeno halves with olive oil and salt. If you prefer a more complex flavor, add garlic powder and onion powder to the mix.
Roast the jalapenos: Spread the jalapeno halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are blistered and tender.
Cool and grind: Once roasted, let them cool completely. When cool, place the jalapenos in a spice grinder or food processor and pulse until you achieve a fine powder consistency.
Store: Transfer your homemade chili powder to an airtight container. It can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to six months. Enjoy this flavorful addition to your spice collection!
