Paprika is made from bell or chili peppers that have been finely ground two or more times without the veins and seeds, according to Katherine K. Schlosser, author of The Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking with Herbs. Because of that, you can swap sweet paprika for another pepper-based spice, such as cayenne or chili powder. Like using other types of paprika, these spices will lend your recipe a different flavor than you would get from the sweet paprika.

Crushed Red Pepper: Crushed red pepper is synonymous with heat. Its fiery kick adds intense spiciness to dishes, making it a favorite among those who appreciate bold flavors. While its heat can vary, it is generally hotter than paprika.
