Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Jalapenos

    Thoroughly wash the jalapenos under running water to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Slice the Jalapenos

    Using a sharp knife, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Add the Jalapenos

    Place the sliced jalapenos cut-side down in the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to blister.

  3. 5

    Season the Jalapenos

    Sprinkle the salt and garlic powder evenly over the jalapenos. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Add Lime Juice

    Drizzle the lime juice over the jalapenos and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional minute.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Jalapenos

    Transfer the cooked jalapenos to a serving platter.

  2. 8
