How To Roast Green Chiles

Roast Your Own Chiles at Home

Roasting your own green chiles at home is easy and exponentially more delicious than the canned variety. Just roast chiles over a gas burner or in a 400-degree oven for 20 minutes until the skins are blackened; put in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap, letting steam accumulate (this makes them easy to peel). Once slightly cooled, remove the skin, discard seeds, and chop.
