I roast mine on the grill. This reminds me that I need to roast a bunch of Poblanos from my garden and freeze them for making Chili Rellenos this winter.

Get a propane blow torch, $30 to $50. More even end result than doing it under the broiler.

Or Get a butane mini blow torch, $12 to $35.

Or do it on you gas stove. $0.00.

How do you do it on the gas stove?

Put a high heat ready grating over the burner, put the peppers on it, watch them char. Don’t turn your back. They even make little barbecue grates for the purpose, but you can use a flat piece from the hardware store, Great on an enamelled stove. Big cleanup horror on stainless.

I've got one of those small trays that you use on the grill for stuff like fish or fruit. Would that work?

Are you wanting to roast fully them or just char them? To char I just hold them on a fork over the gas flame.

Roast them.

Use metal skewers, or tongs. You can do several at a time.

i do mine in the oven all the time. 450 degrees 45 minutes on a sheet pan; turn, roast again 20 min. turn off oven. cover with foil. peel when cool.

Yes, if your barbecue tray is mostly open, it should work. If it's more pan than holes, probably not. Skewers (metal) sounds like a good idea. Keeps the peppers from falling in and gives you handles for turning them.

I roast mine in the oven but at a lower temp..My broiler is a monster even on the lower setting in the middle rack position. I use a gas burner but just if i have one or two to roast. All ovens and burners are different. I have a few different gas burner rings that hold them steady and easy to turn with tongs adjusting the flame if needed.

I roast in the oven too; not the broiler.

I've used my toaster oven when I want to roast a small quantity, and it is easier to watch them this way. My TO also has a broiler.

I char them over the gas burner. I do this with most large peppers because I like Chili Rellenos. I char them, remove the seeds and freeze for future meals.

I also do mine on the grill or over my gas burner. I have to watch them carefully, though, as they seem to char before they are actually roasted, if I'm using the gas burner.
