How to Make Roasted Jalapeno Butter

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Place 2 large jalapenos directly on the grill rack.
  3. Cover the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the jalapenos are blackened and charred on all sides.
  4. Transfer the jalapenos to a small paper bag or airtight container. Fold the bag tightly or seal the container.
  5. Let the jalapenos steam in the bag/container for 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, carefully peel off and discard the skins.
  7. Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise.
  8. Remove and discard the stems, seeds, and membranes (optional, depending on your spice preference).
  9. Finely chop the jalapenos.
  10. In a small bowl, combine the chopped jalapenos with 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; 1 tablespoon lime zest; 1 tablespoon honey; and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  11. Stir until well combined and the butter is evenly distributed.
  12. Brush generously onto grilled corn on the cob or use as a spread for other dishes.
