Roasted Green Chiles

"I use green chiles often in my recipes so I went looking for a way to make my own that I could freeze. Surprizingly they are quite easy to harvest and I find them tasty, not to mention a cheaper way to get the flavours into your meals. You can use many different varieties of chiles for roasting such as poblano chiles, anaheim peppers &/or jalapeños. Either make a batch just enough for your recipe or store in the freezer for later use."

  1. This is how I do mine except that I use a zip lock bag. I also leave them whole prior to freezing, so I can use them for chili rellanos. Thank you for posting Mustang Sally.
     
  2. This is a good method that works well for me.I usually put my chilies in a plastic bag, but otherwise do it the same way. Thanks!
