Ingredients
- 8-10 fresh jalapeños
- Wooden skewers soaked in water
Instructions
- Soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes while your grill heats up.
- Skewer both ends of the jalapeños so they can be held straight on the grill (see photos in post above).
- Heat a grill over medium heat and cook the jalapeños for 5-10 minutes per side, until blistered and browned on the outside.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then place in a ziplock bag to steam so the skins peel off easily.
- Remove the seeds and serve or use in cooking.
Oven Roasted Jalapeno Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 425°F.Place the jalapenos on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place directly in the oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway.
- When done, they should be blistered and slightly charred on the outside. If not, put them back into the oven for 5 minutes at a time.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then place in a ziplock bag to steam so the skins peel off easily.
Notes
- Wear gloves if you're sensitive to spicy peppers.
- Remove seeds for milder roasted jalapeños.
- Store roasted peppers in an airtight container for quick meal prep.
- Charred jalapeños freeze very well for future recipes.
- Oven roasted jalapeños are ideal when grilling isn’t possible.
- Wooden skewers can burn on the grill, you’ll want to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using them.
- Instead of steaming the jalapeños in a ziplock bag, you can place them in a covered bowl to steam.
