1. How spicy is chipotle seasoning?

It’s moderately spicy. Chipotle powder has a nice, smoky heat, but it’s not as fiery as cayenne or chili powder. If you’re sensitive to spice, start with less and adjust to taste.

2. Can I use this seasoning as a rub?

Absolutely! This blend makes a fantastic dry rub for meats. Just coat your protein evenly and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before cooking.

3. How long does homemade chipotle seasoning last?

If stored properly in an airtight container, it should stay fresh for up to six months. Just make sure it’s kept away from heat and moisture.

4. Is this seasoning gluten-free?

Yes! All the ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just double-check your specific spices to ensure there’s no cross-contamination.

5. What’s the best substitute for chipotle powder?

If you don’t have chipotle powder, smoked paprika can work in a pinch. It’s not quite the same, but it’ll still give you that smoky flavor.

6. Can I use chipotle seasoning in desserts?

Yes, you can! Try adding a pinch to chocolate-based desserts like brownies or hot cocoa for a unique smoky heat that pairs surprisingly well with sweetness.

7. Can I make a larger batch to store?

Of course! Just scale up the recipe, keeping the ratios the same. Store in an airtight container, and you’ll have a ready-to-use blend for months.
