    Preheat your broiler.

    Place them under the broiler, about 6 to 10 inches from the heat source.
    Turn the peppers frequently until the skin begins to blacken.
    Remove the peppers from the oven and put them in a paper grocery bag and fold down the top. This allows the peppers to steam, and to cool.
    When cool, wash off the blackened skin.
    Cut the tops off.
