It’s Hatch Chile time, and that means it’s time to roast Hatch chiles! Buy a case (10 pounds or 25 pounds) and have them roasted for you, so you can bring them home and cook with them. Use some immediately and save some in the freezer for later weeks and months, to enjoy Hatch goodness long after their short August-September season is over.
In years past, there were many public roastings for Hatch chiles, but at least in Southern California, many have been canceled for public health concerns, so check with your store to see if they are doing a public roasting. If they are, I highly recommend you take advantage, because they have a super efficient process. They load a whole case at a time into a perforated cylindrical roaster, fire up some blasters, and the cylinder turns while the Hatch tumble inside and get roasted to perfection in about 5 minutes.
Several ways to roast Hatch chiles
If you can’t find a public roasting, it’s easy to roast the Hatch chiles at home ourselves.
1. You can do this stovetop, as we show here.
2. Or you can roast Hatch on the grill outside, as we show here.
3. You can also do it under the broiler in the oven, using the same general directions.
Doing it at home is an easy option, especially if you buy less than a case. Any way you do it, we’ll have loads of Hatch to use.
If you’re looking for great ideas for what to do with your roasted Hatch chiles, you’ve come to the right place! I have lots of suggestions for you, including some from my kitchen and some from my talented food blogger friends.

What a delicious Hatch collection! Thanks for including my recipes. 🙂
Valentina,
Always my pleasure to include your excellent recipes!
On our vacation, we had the opportunity to try the hatch peppers. I live in Texas and was wondering if anyone has a recipe for canning the roasted peppers. Thank yu
Jan,
I don’t on this site, but I am sure if you do a quick Google search you will find one!
These are fabulous. I miss hatch chilies so much. When we lived in Austin, restaurants would fire roast them in the parking lot.
Yumm!
Sandi,
Thanks! Yeah, the parking lot roasting is going on here in Southern California now! Here’s a list of locations: https://www.shockinglydelicious.com/hatch-chile-roastings-2014-in-southern-california/
WOW, each one drool worthy in their own way.
Michelle,
I completely agree! I am going to work my way through, recipe by recipe.
I am such a hot chile fan, and I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never cooked with Hatch chiles. I think they may have some at our Whole Foods right now, and I’m going right over to grab some, this is a fantastic assortment of ideas!
Sue,
No embarrassment at all! You get some, try them, and report back!
I love this roundup, Dorothy! I wish I’d had something to share – but you’ve motivated me to find some of these peppers!
Susan/Wimpy,
NEXT year you will have something to share, for sure!
I’m so honored to be on this list. If one is judged by the company one keeps, I’m surrounded by an abundance of creative yum. Thanks so much for including me.
Jude,
You are THE BEST COOK!
You have created the Hatch Chile recipe anthology here! Thanks again for including my enchiladas and corn pudding in your 2nd Annual roundup 🙂

Sure thing! I am working my way through these recipes.
Thanks for the mention Dorothy! This roundup is pretty epic. So many recipes I want to make. Like Hatch Chile and Cheddar Scones!! Yum!

I am working my way through these, recipe by recipe. Tough job, eh?
I love collections like this… and I hate them too – because I always want to make EVERYTHING in the collection!!! Thanks for including my hatch chile pesto potatoes!!!
Agree completely, Nancy!
Thanks for including me in this AMAZING list of hatch chile recipes. I’ve bookmarked it to try a bunch of these. 🙂
My Man,
I’m gonna work my way through them!
Thanks so much for including my scones! This list is making me drool, and is so inspiring me to use up my Hatch chile stash sitting in my freezer. 🙂
Julie,
You have just hit upon the reason I made this collection!
Thanks so much for including my chowder in the list. Pinned. And I’m checking out all the others because I have some roasted, peeled, and seeded Hatch chiles in my freezer I need to use.
Renee,
You’re welcome! I still have some from last summer. Using those up, and moving on to this year’s crop!
