Fire roasted jalapenos are a tasty little addition to many recipes. If you’re wanting a more subtle back heat instead of a tongue blistering heat than fire roasted or grilled jalapenos are what you’re looking for. There are many ways to grill jalapenos but I’m going to focus on fire roasting them on a grill. My current grill is a Pit Boss pellet grill and I absolutely love it!

6 Jalapeno’s (Or as many as you want)
- Get your grill preheated nice and hot. On my Pit Boss pellet grill I turn it up to 500 degrees.
- Give your Jalapeno’s a quick rinse.
- Put the Jalapeno’s on a single layer on your grill let them grill directly over the flame for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn the Jalapeno’s with a pair of long tongs and let them continue to char. You are looking for the skin of the peppers to get black and charred.
- Continue the process of letting them char and turning them till they are fairly evenly charred all over. If you have hot spots on your grill you should move peppers in and out based on how fast they are charring. The rest of the process will take another 5 to 8 minutes depending on the intensity of your flame.
- The Jalapeno’s will start to plump up from the internal steam building up. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook for awhile after you take them off. Try to keep them charring fairly even during the process, you want to get that char before the jalapeno peppers get over roasted!
- Remove the peppers and place them in a large zip top bag or sealable container. Seal them up and let them sit for around 10 minutes to steam.
- After 10 minutes or so pull the Jalapeno’s out one at a time and start to peel them (you probably want to wear rubber gloves). The peppers skin should slide off very easy at this point, just kind of rub it with your finger tips till it slides off. You don’t have to get it all, just get the majority of it off.
- You can either use them now or chop them up for future use. I like to chop them up in 1/4 to 1/8″ pieces to add to other recipes. You can freeze small portions in freezer bags for later use if you want.

What Happens When You Roast A Jalapeno?
Roasting Jalapenos mellows out their spice level and gives the peppers an added depth of flavor compared to raw jalapenos. The texture of the pepper gets much softer. This is due to the direct heat from the flame cooking the outside. It is also due to the natural moisture in the interior cavity of the jalapeno steaming it from the inside once the pepper heats up.

Do jalapeno peppers speed up your metabolism?
Jalapeno peppers, and many other peppers, contain capsaicin. Capsaicin does in fact cause a temporary increase in your body temperature, which in turn can increase heart rate and blood flow. The result is a slightly higher metabolic rate for up to an hour afterwards. However, it won’t boost your metabolism enough to promote weight loss on its own.
Does grilling jalapenos make them hotter?
Grilling Jalapenos does not make them hotter, it does however change the flavor and distribute the heat a little more. The heat distribution may be one reason that roasted or grilled jalapenos seem hotter. The jalapenos heat is set by the amount of capsaicin in that particular pepper.
