Some ideas to use it are:
• Sauces and dressings: You can mix caramelized pepper powder with oils, vinegars, mustards, or yogurt to create sauces or dressings with a deep and slightly sweet flavor. It's perfect for salads, tacos, or as a side for meats.
• Seasoning for meats: Sprinkle the caramelized pepper powder on meats before cooking (chicken, pork, beef, etc.), or even during grilling. This powder gives a touch of sweetness and a smoky flavor, perfect for marinades or as a finishing touch when serving.
• Cookies or bread: If you like contrasting flavors, try incorporating it into cookie or savory bread dough. Combined with some cheese or herbs, it can create an unusual and delicious taste.
• French fries or roasted potatoes: Sprinkle the caramelized pepper powder over fries or roasted potatoes, whether classic or mashed. It will add an extra layer of flavor that combines the sweetness of sugar with the smoky touch of the pepper.
• Soups and creams: Adding a little of this powder to soups and creams (like pumpkin, carrot, or tomato) can enhance the flavors, giving them a sweet and sour touch with a bit more depth.
• Pasta or rice: Add caramelized pepper powder to your pasta or rice dishes for a special touch. You can mix it with a little olive oil and herbs to season any simple pasta dish or even risotto-style rice.
• Roasted vegetables: Sprinkle a bit of this powder on vegetables before roasting or sautéing them to enhance their natural sweetness and give them an extra layer of flavor. Vegetables like carrots, onions, or eggplants benefit greatly from this type of seasoning.
• Ceviches and seafood: You can use it to give a twist to ceviches or seafood dishes, combining it with lime juice, cilantro, and other seasonings.
• Cream cheese: Mix with cream cheese to make a spreadable caramelized pepper cheese with a unique flavor.
