Roasting Chiles (Chili Peppers)

Arrange chiles over elements on a gas stove, on a grill, or under a broiler (see How to Roast Peppers Under a Broiler for specific directions for broiler roasting). Cook, turning to roast evenly, until the skin is blistering and blackened on as much of the chiles as possible.

If you have a lot of chiles, this can easily be done in batches.
