1
Wash the Peppers
Rinse the Padrón peppers under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Peppers
Carefully add the washed Padrón peppers to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are blistered and slightly charred.
4
Season with Sea Salt
Once the peppers are fried, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with sea salt while they are still hot.
5
Serve
Transfer the fried Padrón peppers to a serving plate and enjoy them warm as a tapas dish.
