Blistered Shishito Peppers
Serves 2 to 4
This blistered shishito peppers recipe is such a fun appetizer or snack! If you're sensitive to spice, proceed with caution—about 1 in 10 of these usually sweet peppers is spicy.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces shishito peppers
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Sea salt
- Lemon wedges, for squeezing, optional
Instructions
- Heat a large cast iron skillet to high heat. Add the peppers to the dry skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and blistering, about 6 to 8 minutes. As you work, try to keep the peppers in a single layer so that they make consistent contact with the hot pan.
- Drizzle the peppers with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and squeeze with lemon juice, if desired. Find additional serving suggestions in the blog post above.
