There are two easy ways to cook peppers. In the oven or on the grill. Both methods work great, but we generally prefer to do ours on the grill so we don’t heat up our house.

To roast the peppers in the oven, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Wash peppers and place them directly on racks in preheated oven. Roast for 5-10 minutes.

To roast the peppers on the grill, preheat the grill to 450 degrees. Wash peppers and place them directly on the grill grates. Roasting time on the grill can take 10-15 minutes until the peppers’ skin starts to brown.

Place warm and roasted chilies into a large bowl, and cover with a clean towel. Allow them to “steam” in the bowl for 30 minutes to an hour. This will help the skins come off easily.

Remove skins, stems, and seeds from peppers. You can leave the peppers whole or dice them. Place peppers into a freezer baggie, push out the air, and seal.
