Choose your preferred type of dried chillies (such as red chilli peppers or cayenne). Ensure they are clean and free of stems.
Lightly toast the dried chillies in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes. This enhances their flavour and makes them easier to crush.
Once cooled, add the toasted chillies to a food processor, blender, or spice grinder, and pulse until they reach your desired flake size.
Transfer the chilli flakes to an airtight container and store them in a cool, dry place for up to a year to maintain freshness.
You can use these chilli flakes for the pastas, pizzas, soups and even toasts.
