You can incorporate paprika into your cooking at various stages. It can be added early in the cooking process to bloom its flavors in oil, or stirred in towards the end for a brighter color and taste. It works well in rubs for meats, marinades, and as a direct seasoning for vegetables, potatoes, and eggs. For a richer flavor, gently toast it in a dry pan before adding other ingredients. Be mindful that some paprikas can burn easily, so watch the heat.
