Shishito Peppers

blistered shishito peppers in a bowl with seasoning
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  5 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 ounces shishito peppers
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons flaky salt

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the peppers in a single layer and cook undisturbed until they begin to blister, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn the peppers. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until softened and blistered all over.

  2. Transfer the peppers to a plate and sprinkle with the lemon zest and flaky salt. Serve warm.


Note: It is estimated that one in ten shishito peppers carry a little extra heat. We like to think this is the roulette of the snacking world.
