Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh green chiles (Hatch, Anaheim, or poblano)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler to high or set your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Wash the green chiles thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Optional: Lightly rub the chiles with olive oil for added flavor and to help with blistering.
Step 4
Arrange the chiles in a single layer on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly on the grill grates if grilling.
Step 5
Place the chiles under the broiler or on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side, or until the skin becomes blistered and charred.
Step 6
Using tongs, carefully flip the chiles and roast the other side for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring the skin is evenly blistered and charred.
Step 7
Once the chiles are fully roasted, transfer them to a bowl and cover with a lid, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow them to steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
Step 8
Peel off the charred skin using your hands or a paper towel, but leave some of the char for a smoky flavor if desired. Avoid rinsing the chiles under water to preserve their flavor.
Step 9
Optional: Remove the seeds and stems if you prefer milder chiles.
Step 10
Sprinkle with salt if desired, and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
