Roast Hatch Chiles
Learn the simple method to roast Hatch chiles for smoky, flavorful results that enhance any dish.
Ingredients
- 6 whole Fresh Hatch chiles Medium to large size
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
- Place the Hatch chiles directly on the grill or under the broiler.
- Turn the chiles every 2-3 minutes until the skin is blackened and blistered all over (about 10-15 minutes).
- Transfer the hot chiles into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or place in a sealed plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes.
- After steaming, peel off the charred skin with your fingers or a paper towel. Avoid rinsing the chiles under water to keep the smoky flavor.
- Remove stems and seeds if desired. Use immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- Roasting time may vary depending on the heat source.
- Steaming helps loosen the skin for easy peeling.
- Use roasted Hatch chiles in salsas, tacos, sauces, or as a side.
