Off heat, lightly coat a grill rack with cooking spray. Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high.

NotesTest your jalapeno to make sure it has heat. Some chilies are totally mild with no heat. If it’s a hot chili and you don’t want too much heat, remove the seeds. Just make sure not to touch the seeds with your bare hands - their oils can irritate sensitive skin and eyes.
