Chili Crisp Sprinkle Spice Blend

The home cooking superstars from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen bring you a smoky-sweet twist on Chinese-style chili crisp. Imagine the palate-warming heat and toasted-allium intensity of chile crisp, turned into a dry seasoning blend for dusting over everything from cooked meats to stir-fried or blanched vegetables. It combines the mellow heat of silk chile, earthy umami from ground crispy shallots, and faint toasty aromas from smoked paprika and star anise. Benne seeds provide extra bite, creating a finishing blast of texture and flavor.
