Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers (Mild) are fire-roasted, hand-selected green chile peppers grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico and packaged at peak season for authentic Southwestern flavor. It's no secret why everyone is obsessed with Hatch Peppers, and this mild variety is the perfect entry point into one of Southwestern cooking's most celebrated ingredients. Grown just north of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande's southernmost bend, Hatch Peppers thrive under intense sunlight and cool desert nights, a climate chefs credit for their uniquely rich flavor.

Roasting brings out the best in Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers (Mild): meaty, tender flesh with a smoky char and a gentle, approachable warmth that doesn’t overwhelm. The heat of these mild Hatch Peppers is understated, more of a pleasant burn than a bite, making this variety a favorite for those who want authentic Hatch chile flavor without the fire.

Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers (Mild) are endlessly versatile in the kitchen. Use them straight from the package in chile con queso, for chile rellenos, or a comforting pot of chile verde. Stir Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers into soups, stews, and dips, layer them onto sandwiches, or fold them into salads for a smoky, savory lift. Each 2-lb. package of Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers (Mild) is ready to use, or portion and freeze peppers for a taste of Hatch any time of year.

Storage: Keep Melissa’s Roasted Hatch Peppers (Mild) refrigerated and use within a few days of opening, or freeze for longer storage. Frozen Hatch Peppers can be used directly from frozen or thawed first, depending on your recipe.
