Some serranos are super-spicy (taste a seed to find out); you can remove some seeds for less heat. These are good on just about anything, but especially roasted vegetables with a bit of sweetness, such as squashes, carrots, parsnips, and beets. Use them to give our Date, Olive, and Goat-Cheese Tart a kick.
