Slice them into rings or leave them whole. Dehydrate until they’re brittle and a shade darker, like tiny green dinosaur fossils. Store them in a glass jar with a tight lid, and you’ll feel like a pioneer every time you crumble one into a dish.

No dehydrator? No problem. You can string them up with a needle and thread, like a very spicy holiday garland. Hang it in a cool, dark spot, and let nature do the work. It looks cool in your kitchen, too.

The “Oops, I Forgot” Bonus: Pickling

I once had a dozen serranos staring me down, and I was leaving for a trip the next day. In a panic, I boiled some vinegar, water, salt, and sugar, poured it over sliced peppers in a jar, and stuck it in the fridge. Best accident ever.

Pickled serranos are like spicy, tangy little jewels for tacos, sandwiches, and salads. They keep for months and make you look like you planned ahead. Just slice them, pack them in a jar, and cover with hot pickling brine. Cool, lid, and refrigerate. You’ll thank yourself later.
