Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Peppers

    Rinse the shishito peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Blister the Peppers

    Add the shishito peppers to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and slightly charred on all sides.

  2. 4

    Season

    Once blistered, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sea salt over the peppers. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve Warm

    Transfer the blistered shishito peppers to a serving plate. If desired, add optional toppings such as crumbled feta cheese, sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of chili flakes before serving.
