Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Rinse the jalapeños under cold water to clean them. Pat them dry with a paper towel. If you prefer less heat, slice them in half and remove the seeds.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 3
Sear the Jalapeños
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the jalapeños to the skillet. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are blistered and have charred spots.
- 4
Season the Jalapeños
Sprinkle the salt and garlic powder over the jalapeños while they are searing. Ensure they are evenly coated.
- 5
Add Lime Juice
Once the jalapeños are nicely charred, remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lime juice over the jalapeños. Toss them gently to coat.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
If desired, chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it on top of the jalapeños for added flavor. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
