  How to Roast Hatch Chile

  Hatch chile is typically roasted before eating or prior to freezing for later use. Roasting brings out the rich smoky flavor. During season, roasting chile fills the air with a captivating aroma which fills the Hatch Valley. You can buy our Hatch Chile roasted and diced, ready to eat, but it's also quite easy to roast them at home

  Here are a few ways to do it:

  • Place the chile directly onto a hot grill. When the bottoms start to turn black charred or blistered, use tongs to turn them over and repeat on the other side
  • Hold chile over your stove's gas flame with a long fork or tongs while roasting on all sides
  • Place chile under the broiler, watching carefully, until they blacken. Turn chile over and roast the other side

  Freeze Hatch Chiles to Enjoy All Year Long

  The biggest fans often buy them by the case and freeze them after roasting. Simply store the roasted peppers whole sliced or chopped in a freezer-ready storage bag (removing as much air as possible before sealing) or a shallow freezer-proof lidded container.
