Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the jalapeños roast evenly and develop a nice char.

Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes if you prefer a milder taste.
Roasting
- 3
Season the Jalapeños
Place the halved jalapeños on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Use your hands or a brush to evenly coat the jalapeños with the oil and seasonings.

Roast in the Oven
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the jalapeños for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Optional Stuffing

Stuff the Jalapeños (Optional)
If desired, you can stuff the roasted jalapeños with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits. Mix the cream cheese with cheddar cheese and bacon bits in a bowl. Spoon the mixture into each jalapeño half after roasting.
