How should I use this roasting rack?
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2. Place the peppers upright into the rack’s openings so that their bases rest on the grill grates.
3. Roast, turning or rotating as needed, until the peppers are charred or softened to your liking.
4. If you're making stuffed jalapeños, you can fill them first and then roast, using the rack to support them upright.
