If you’ve ever tried a jalapeño pepper, you’ll know what to expect with a serrano pepper. They are quite a bit spicier, but in such a nice way.

Serrano pepper flavor is bright, vegetable and very green, with a nice level of heat. Roasted serrano peppers are richer, slightly smoky, earthy with good heat.

Serrano peppers are perfect for salsas, sauces, relishes, garnishes, making hot sauce and more. I personally love them for their delicious spicy kick, either roasted, pan cooked, or fresh as a garnish.
