Roasted Poblano Chili Peppers

Poblano peppers are mild chili peppers native to Puebla, Mexico. When roasted, their skin is charred and peeled, which imparts a smoky flavor and softens the flesh. This process is often done over an open flame or in an oven.

Roasted poblano peppers are used to add a mild, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor to a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, including soups, sauces, dips, casseroles, and stuffed pepper dishes.

Poblano peppers are a natural food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food. They contain vitamins and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for roasted poblano peppers are not widely publicized.
