Some folks get excited about Pumpkin Spiced Latte season in the fall or everything peppermint in the winter.  But me?  I know what’s really special – the last little bit of summer when Hatch Chile Peppers are in season and available at my local Harris Teeter.

Grown in New Mexico and available fresh for only a few weeks each year, these coveted peppers have a medium spice level and are absolutely divine when roasted – adding a smoky and buttery flavor to all your favorite recipes.

If you think you love roast Hatch Chile peppers but you’ve only enjoyed them canned, it’s time to add something to your bucket list, and we’re here to help.

Plan A: Scurry on over to one of these Harris Teeter on-site Hatch Chile Roasting Events.  Hatch chile peppers of various heat levels are roasted and packaged to-order for you to take home with you.  I dare you to not gobble them up on the way home.  They smell THAT good!

Not able to make one of the events? 

Plan B:  Grab fresh Hatch chile peppers by the pound at your local Harris Teeter.  They’re in season NOW!  And while having the peppers flame roasted at the store is awesome-sauce, you’ll still be able to coax amazing smoky flavor from these peppers by roasting them at home. 

DIY Roast Hatch Chile Peppers in the Oven

Ok, so you’ve managed to get your hands on fresh Hatch Chile peppers.  Pat yo’self on the back for a job well done.  While they can be enjoyed raw, learning how to roast Hatch chile peppers  is really easy and makes these a super versatile addition to a host of recipes.

Here’s how it’s done:

Preheat your broiler and place the peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with oil, then sprinkle with salt.

Cook ‘em for 6-8 minutes or until charred in many spots, then carefully flip them over and roast for another 6-8 minutes until they look like the peppers above.

Place the peppers in a large bowl using tongs, cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes.  Remove the cover and when they are cool enough to handle, you’ll be able to easily pull the skins from the peppers.

Slice off the stems and remove the seeds.  If the peppers are on the spicy side, you may want to use gloves in this step.  You only need to get spicy pepper juice in your eyes once to remember this important part of the process!  You’ve been warned!
