Ingredients

• 6 pieces Fresh chilies (poblanos, jalapeños, or bell peppers)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the chilies thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 3

Lightly coat the chilies with olive oil using a brush or by hand to ensure even coverage. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 4

Arrange the chilies on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or place them directly on the grill grates.

Step 5

Roast the chilies for 10 minutes on one side. Check for blistered, charred skin.

Step 6

Using tongs, flip the chilies to roast the other side for an additional 10 minutes, or until the skin is evenly blistered and charred all over.

Step 7

Remove the roasted chilies from the oven or grill and immediately place them in a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel to trap steam. Let them sit for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 8

Once cooled, carefully peel off the charred skins using your fingers or a paper towel. Avoid rinsing the chilies, as this can wash away their smoky flavor.

Step 9

For seeded chilies, slice them open lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes with a spoon or knife. Leave the seeds in if you prefer more heat.

Step 10

Use the roasted chilies immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
