Blistered Shishito Peppers
The perfect afternoon salty snack to pair with a cocktail!
Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- Cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups shishito peppers
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Rinse off the shishito peppers, then pat them dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the peppers with the teaspoon of olive oil until all of the peppers are evenly coated.
- Heat up the cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Wait until it's hot enough. You can test this by adding a drop of water and seeing if it will sizzle/evaporate.
- Add the peppers to the pan. Let them sit for a minute.
- Using a pair of tongs, turn the shishito peppers to a different side. Repeat this step every minute or so until the shishito peppers are charred ("blistered") on the outside. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Remove to bowls and sprinkle with salt, then serve.
Notes
Each serving is about 1 cup of shishito peppers. You can multiply the recipe if you're making this for more people.
