    🔥 How to Roast Poblano Peppers

    Roasting Poblano Peppers might be a challenge for some especially if you've never done it before. But don't stress, I wrote an article on 3 different ways on How to Roast Poblano Peppers.

    This sauce does pack a little heat thanks to the Serrano Chili Pepper but is nicely tempered by the Ranch Dressing. If you want your sauce on the milder side make sure you remove the seeds from the pepper.

    🌡️ How Hot are the Peppers

    The Scoville Scale is the measurement that tells you the spiciness of a given type of pepper.

    Pepper TypeScoville Rating (Heat)
    Bell Pepper0-0
    Banana Pepper0-500
    Poblano Pepper1000-1500
    Jalapeño Pepper2500-8000
    Serrano Peppers10,000-25,000
    Manzano Pepper12,000-30,000
    Tabasco & Cayenne30,000-50,000
    Habanero Pepper100,000-300,000
    Ghost Pepper855,000-1,000,000
    Carolina Reaper1,500,000-2,300,000

    If you have a hard time finding serrano chili peppers you can substitute for a jalapeño pepper. The sauce won't have as much kick to it but is the perfect substitute for this delicious sauce recipe.
