🔥 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.

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

Pepper Type	Scoville Rating (Heat)
Bell Pepper	0-0
Banana Pepper	0-500
Poblano Pepper	1000-1500
Jalapeño Pepper	2500-8000
Serrano Peppers	10,000-25,000
Manzano Pepper	12,000-30,000
Tabasco & Cayenne	30,000-50,000
Habanero Pepper	100,000-300,000
Ghost Pepper	855,000-1,000,000
Carolina Reaper	1,500,000-2,300,000

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.
