How To Roast Poblano Peppers

Line a baking sheet with foil, spray with non stick spray and preheat oven to 450°. Wash and dry peppers and place poblano peppers on baking sheet. Roast until peppers are charred and skin are blacken and bubbly, making sure to turn a few times. Approximately 20-25 minutes.

How To Remove The Skin From Poblano Peppers

Once the peppers have finished roasting, remove the baking sheet from oven and carefully place peppers in a glass bowl. Cover and let cool for a bit. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skin, slice in half lengthwise and rinse to remove seeds. Pat dry. The steam helps loosen the skin which makes removing the skin super easy.
