Description
Blistered shishito peppers are the perfect appetizer or snack that will surprise your taste buds with their mild, yet occasionally smoky flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces shishito peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the skillet is hot enough to achieve a nice blister on the peppers.
- Pour the olive oil into the hot skillet, allowing it to coat the bottom evenly.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the shishito peppers in a single layer. Cook them for 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally for even blistering.
- Season the blistered peppers with salt to taste. Serve them hot, accompanied by fresh lemon wedges for a zesty garnish.
Notes
Choose firm, bright green peppers for freshness. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for the best blistering results. Experiment with different seasonings for added flavor.
