EASIER ROASTED CHILES
Roasting chiles whole and then seeding them—the usual procedure— makes a mess: the wet seeds stick to everything. We halve and seed the raw Anaheims. It’s neater and lets us skip the usual flipping step. We leave the jalapeños whole; they soften but don’t deeply roast.
READY FOR ROASTING
Arrange the chiles head to foot for the best fit.
