Ingredients

  • 1 lb shishito peppers
  • 2 Tbsp grapeseed oil or another high-heat oil
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • Flakey sea salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pre-heat a wide sauté pan over medium-high heat. Toss the peppers with the oil and then add them to the hot pan in a single layer and allow them to blister, about 2-3 minutes. Once they begin to char, give the pan a shake and char on the other side, about 2 minutes more. The peppers should be tender and charred places but still retain a bit of crunch.
  • Remove the peppers from the pan and drain on paper towels. Generously salt them and add a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
