Blistered Shishito Peppers
Blistered Shishito Peppers at home, are so easy, with a little bit of oil, plenty of salt, and a squeeze of lemon for this restaurant-style treat at home.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces shishito peppers about 4 cups
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- fresh lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel. Transfer the peppers to a mixing bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat until it’s hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately. Add the peppers and let them cook, stirring only every minute or so, allowing them to char on the sides touching the pan.
- Season with salt while cooking until the peppers are tender with plenty of charred spots, about 8 minutes. Take care not to overcook. The peppers should still have a bit of a crisp bite to them.
- Transfer the peppers to a serving plate. Season with lemon juice, if desired. Sprinkle with a bit more salt, taste, and adjust salt as needed.
Notes
The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers.
