No spice rack should be without a jar of paprika! Use this versatile spice to add sweet pepper flavor and vivid red color to pretty much any dish ̶ try it on deviled eggs, pasta salads, goulash and more. McCormick Paprika always starts with whole, ripe peppers, the sweeter, gentler cousin of the hot chili pepper family. Paprika is a mellow ingredient, bringing fruity, slightly sweet and toasty notes to chicken paprikash, pork or beef stew, casseroles, roasted potatoes or vegetables, barbecue sauce and marinades. Use paprika as a base for your own spice rubs for barbecued meats or simply sprinkle on roast chicken or pork. Paprika's bright red color makes it a pleasing garnish for egg and fish dishes, potato salad, and even mac and cheese.
