If you want to speed up the drying time, use an oven instead. However, this is my least favorite method: ovens aren’t designed for low-temperature drying, which can lead to uneven drying and affect the flavor. Watch the peppers closely for the best outcome.
Whether you prefer the mild, smoky taste of paprika or the fiery kick of cayenne, one thing’s for sure: Food tastes better when it’s packed with high-quality spices.
Chili sauce, on the other hand, is a slightly broader term that could refer to a variety of condiments containing chili peppers. Depending on the culture, chili sauce can be a liquid, a paste, or even a chunky salsa-like substance. Some believe that chili sauce originated from Thailand, while others think it started in the Americas, given the native chili peppers' origins.
