Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep: Turn oven to broil, and move oven rack as high as possible. Wash and dry peppers, then place them on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Broil: Place peppers on the upper rack and broil, watching closely. Turn peppers every few minutes until they are charred on all sides (about 10 to 15 minutes).
  3. Steam: Immediately transfer peppers to a plate and cover with a bowl (or place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap). Let peppers steam for 15 minutes - this will make peeling a breeze!
  4. Peel: Peel the skin from each pepper (for more smoky flavor, you can leave a little skin on, if desired).
  5. Seed: Pull apart the peppers and scoop out the seeds and stems. From here, you can stuff the peppers, dice them for a recipe, or puree!

Notes

  • Gas Stove Method: While more messy, if you just have a few peppers to roast you can place them directly over the flame of your gas stove. Turn often until black on all sides.
  • Oven Baked Method: For a more hands-off roasted pepper, bake them in the middle rack of a 450°F (218°C) oven, turning every 10 minutes or so, until black on all sides.
