Ingredients

  • 6-8 fresh poblanos

Instructions

  • Wash peppers to remove any dirt or debris and dry peppers thoroughly.
  • Decide how you want them prepared. I like to do a variety of shapes and sizes.
  • If leaving whole, place on baking tray.
  • If halving, slice lengthwise with a sharp knife. Use your hands to remove stem and seeds. Place halves on baking tray.
  • If dicing, do the steps above and then slice into strips and dice into evenly sized pieces and then place on a baking tray.
  • Place tray into freezer and freeze peppers for 1 hour.
  • Remove frozen peppers from the tray and place poblano peppers whole, halved, or diced into freezer baggies. Remove as much air as possible, seal the bags, and store poblano peppers in the freezer for up to 1 year.
