What is Smoked Paprika?

Your Guide to This Smoky Spice

Smoked paprika is a versatile spice that adds a rich, smoky flavor to any dish. Unlike sweet or hot paprika, smoked paprika is made from peppers that are smoke-dried over an oak fire before being ground into a fine powder. This process gives it a deep, earthy, and woodsy flavor that can transform your homemade meals.
