1
Wash the Peppers
Thoroughly rinse the Pimientos de Padrón under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Make sure not to let it smoke.
3
Fry the Peppers
Carefully add the dried Pimientos de Padrón to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry them for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
4
Season with Sea Salt
Once the peppers are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle sea salt generously over the peppers while they are still hot.
5
Serve
Transfer the seasoned Pimientos de Padrón to a serving platter and enjoy immediately while they are warm.
