Ingredients
- 4 poblano pepper large
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in the oven to high.
- Add the poblano peppers to a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet on the top shelf in the oven, 6-8 inches under the broiler.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin begins to turn black and bubble on the peppers.
- Remove from the oven, use tongs to flip the peppers and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the skin begins to bubble.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a plastic zipper bag.
- Seal the bag shut and set aside for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the peppers from the bag and once they're cool to the touch, use your fingers to peel the skin away. Discard the papery skins.
- Remove the stem from the pepper and the seeds inside.
- Keep the peppers whole, slice or dice them, depending on how you’ll be using them in a recipe.
Notes
To roast the peppers on the stove:
Place 1-2 poblano peppers on top of a gas burner on a stovetop.Turn the gas on to high and roast the peppers for 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to flip the peppers once they’re black and bubbling on the first side. Continue cooking the peppers on the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until black and bubbling. Follow steps 6-10 above to steam and peel the peppers.

To roast the peppers on a grill:
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the poblano peppers on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is black and bubbling. Flip and continue to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Follow steps 6-10 above to steam and peel the peppers.

- Roasted poblano peppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- To freeze the peppers, place them in a freezer-safe container, such as a zipper bag or mason jar. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Move from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw and use the peppers in recipes. The roasted peppers can be frozen whole, sliced or diced.
- Instead of a zipper bag, you can also transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover with a lid, plate, or plastic wrap to steam them, before peeling them. Another option is to seal them in a foil packet or paper bag.
- Poblano peppers should always be peeled after roasting. While the skins are safe to eat, once they’ve been roasted, they develop of a papery texture that’s unappealing when added to a recipe, so make sure to always peel the peppers after roasting them.
