You can roast them all.Just be really careful the hotter they get. Peppers have an active component called capsaicin which gives the pepper it's heat and can burn you. Wearing gloves is often a good idea when you handle the hot peppers. Just rubbing your face and especially your eyes can get this oil in the there and cause a lot of pain and discomfort.So the easiest and quickest way to roast peppers is on a gas stove. Rinse and dry the pepper and place it right on the grate of the burner.I have the burner turned to medium high heat. Because the pepper is so close to the flame, it will begin to pop and blister pretty quickly so don't walk away.As the pepper chars, use tongs to rotate the pepper as it cooks to char it on all sides. Once the whole pepper is pretty black, place it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Another alternative is to place the peppers in a paper bag and close it up.Let it steam for about 10 minutes. This will continue to cook the pepper and soften it so that removing the black skin is easy.When it's time to peel off the charred skin, the best method is to use a paper towel to wipe it off. Don't rinse the pepper under water as you will be removing all the flavor you created by roasting it. That would be a big no no.Having a few pieces of char on the pepper will give it that roasted flavor and look of being roasted.After you are done, you can chop the peppers to suit your recipe. You can use poblano peppers to make delicious chile rellenos.You can also use any roasted peppers in sandwiches, pasta dishes, salads, pizza, burgers, guacamole, you name it. The second way to roast peppers is by roasting them in the oven under the broiler. The key is to get the pepper as close to the heat source as possible so they blacken properly.It takes a bit longer to roast the peppers in the oven but the advantage is that you can cook more at a time.I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and will give me a thumbs up and leave me a comment.Do you have any tips and tricks for roasting peppers?
