How to Roast Peppers

How to Roast Peppers

Many recipes call for first roasting or charring the peppers.

My How To Roast Peppers guide, will show you how to easily roast Chili, Poblano, Jalapeńo, Bell Peppers and other types of peppers, using your stove top, oven or air fryer.

Ingredients for Roasting Peppers

  • Peppers – Chili, Poblano, Passilla, Serrano, Red Peppers, Jalapeno, etc.

Are you laughing at that glove?

Seriously, please use Food Service Gloves when handling the Peppers, especially when you remove the char.

It’s 2 hours later and my fingers are still burning because I had to keep one hand ungloved to take photos.

 

Place Peppers Direction on Burner

Place Peppers Direction on Burner

Please excuse the dark photo. The flame would not show with the lights shining down on them. So, I turned off the lights so that you can see the flame.

If you do not have a gas stove, use a set of Tongs and hold the Peppers above the electric coil. They will char over electric too.

Charring peppers in an air fryer is also a good way to char the peppers. You will need to keep a good eye on them and make sure you pay close attention and turn them frequently.

The crisping lids are another appliance which can be used to charr peppers.

  • Mealthy CrispLid (buy from Mealthy) / Mealthy CrispLid (buy from Amazon)
  • Instant Pot Crisping Lid (buy from Instant Pot) / Instant Pot Crisping Lid (buy from Amazon)

 

Turn over the Peppers to evenly Char

There is no doubt that you will make a mess.

With the lights on, you cannot see the flame, but it is there in all its glory.

You want to make sure not to let them get ashy and white.

Too see the Charring of Red Peppers in action, check out my Pressure Cooker Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe.

 

Let the Peppers Cool Down before removing the skin

Let the Peppers Cool Down

The charring on these Peppers looks wonderful.

Let the Peppers cool down before you try to remove the Black Skin.

You can also put the Peppers into a paper bag and shake them around. The Char will fall right off.

 

Put on a Glove and Rub away the charred Skin

Put on a Glove and Rub away the charred Skin

The Charred Skin will just rub right off.

Rub gently with your fingers and in seconds, all the Charred Skin will be gone.

For a Healthy Japanese appetizer that is mild and slightly sweet, you must try my Air Fryer Blistered Shishito Peppers recipe. Blistered Shishito Peppers are typically served as a snack with drinks

 

How to Roast & Char Peppers

How to Roast & Char Peppers

If using Peppers, such as Poblanos to make Chili Relenos, slice down one side of the Pepper and remove the seeds. Keep the stem in tact.

How do I Roast or Char Peppers?

  • Place them over an open flame.
  • Use Tongs  to turn them.
  • Let cool.
  • Use Gloves and Rub off Charred Skin.

For recipes like my Air Fryer Carne Asada Recipe, remove the stem and the seeds and then use the Peppers, per the recipe.

Kitchen Equipment and Essentials

  • OXO Stainless Steel Tongs
  • Food Service Gloves
