How to Make How To Roast Peppers Or Fresh Chiles Any Type Or Variety

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler to high or your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and dry your peppers and chiles thoroughly. Remove stems and seeds if desired (for milder flavor, leave some seeds in!).
  3. Place peppers and chiles directly on the oven rack or grill grates, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
  4. Broil or grill, turning occasionally with tongs, for 8-15 minutes, or until the skins are blackened and blistered in multiple spots.
  5. Immediately transfer the roasted peppers and chiles to a heat-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skins. You can optionally rinse under cold water to help the process.
  7. Remove the stems and seeds, if you haven't already. Slice, chop, or dice to your preferred size.
  8. Enjoy your homemade roasted peppers and chiles! Use them in salsas, stews, chili, fajitas, or as a delicious side dish.
