How to Roast and Peel Peppers
Roasting peppers enhances the flavor and allows the tough, bitter skin to peel away from the pepper.
Ingredients
- peppers of choice
Instructions
- Select fresh peppers with smooth skin and no blemishes for easy peeling. Wash the peppers and let air-dry.
- Heat your grill on high. Place your peppers in a single layer on the grill rack.
- Roast the peppers by grilling until the skin is blistered and blackened. Turn the peppers every few minutes until the skin is charred all over.
- Remove the peppers from heat and place in a covered bowl to steam.
- Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, put on a pair of gloves and remove skins.
- Cut off the stem and slice the pepper open. Use a knife to scrape out the seeds and membrane. Peppers are ready to use in your favorite recipes or preserve for later.
