How spicy is a jalapeno?
- A jalapeno has a more mild range to its potency, but still has a kick to it, and can be eaten raw or cooked.
- By removing the seeds and the ribs of the jalapeno (or the insides) it will take away some of the heat the jalapeno gives off.
How do I roast jalapeños?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise (not widthwise) through the middle to give two halves.
- Remove the seeds and ribs within the jalapeno with a spoon ( I find that the easiest way) and place skin side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, rotating jalapeños halfway through to roast evenly on both sides.
- Let cool, until you can handle them with your fingers with being too hot.
