Smoked paprika, such as Spanish pimentón, is made from peppers that have been smoked over oak fires, giving it a distinct smoky flavor. This type of paprika can be sweet or hot, and its spiciness can vary depending on the specific variety. The smoky flavor adds depth to dishes and is often used in recipes like barbecue, paella, and marinades.

To give your paprika a smoky twist, you’ll need to smoke the peppers before drying them. Start by setting up your smoker and choosing a flavorful wood, like hickory or oak chips. Spread your sweet or hot paprika in a thin layer on a heat-safe dish or tray. Pop it into the smoker, making sure it’s at a safe distance from the heat source.
