Customers can also join the fun with roasts at home. Hatch
Chiles are typically enjoyed roasted to bring out peak flavor. To
roast chiles at home, the retailer recommends following these
simple instructions:
- Grill: Place the chiles directly onto a hot grill. When
the bottoms begin to turn black, charred or blistered, use tongs to
turn the chiles over and repeat on the other side.
- Stovetop: Hold chiles over your stove's gas flame with a
long fork or tongs while roasting on all sides.
- Oven: Place chiles under the broiler. When they blacken,
turn chiles over and roast the other side.
After roasting is complete, place the chiles in a paper or
plastic bag, seal tightly and allow chiles to sit for approximately
10 minutes to cool. Once cool, remove skins and enjoy right away or
freeze to enjoy in your favorite recipes all year long.
