Instructions

Roast the Chili Peppers. Slice your peppers in half lengthwise and remove the innards. Remove the stems. Set them onto a baking sheet, skin sides up.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake them in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes. Up the temp a bit to reduce cooking time, or broil them to reduce even more. If you do so, keep an eye on the peppers so they do not burn. What you want is to char the skins, not burn the pepper flesh.
Remove from oven and cover them with paper towels or move them into a plastic or paper bag. Seal it up. This will allow the heat to steam the peppers, loosening the skins, making them easier to peel off. Let them steam 15-20 minutes.
Peel off the skins and discard them.
Slice the roasted peppers and place them into sealable freezer bags or containers. Remove as much air as possible and seal. Set them into the freezer. They will keep this way for up to a year.

Notes

You can roast your chili peppers using your favorite roasting method. See my post on How to Roast Chili Peppers. You can freeze the peppers as they are, or cut them up before freezing if you’d like to fit more into the bags.
