Ingredients:
- 4 large poblano peppers (approx. 1 lb / 450g)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions:
- Rinse the poblano peppers under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure proper charring.
- Lightly brush the peppers with neutral oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Arrange the peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each pepper.
- Set the oven to the Broil setting (High) and place the pan on the middle rack.
- Broil for 5–7 minutes until the skins puff up and develop blackened, mahogany-colored blisters.
- Using tongs, flip each pepper and broil for another 5–7 minutes until all sides are charred and softened.
- Immediately transfer the hot peppers into a glass bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, or seal them in a large Ziploc bag.
- Let the peppers steam in the trapped moisture for 10–15 minutes before peeling.
