1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the shishito peppers and pat them dry. Grate the fresh ginger and set aside.
2
Toast the Almonds
In a skillet over medium heat, add the raw almonds and toast them for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3
Blister the Peppers
Add the shishito peppers to the skillet with the toasted almonds. Drizzle with olive oil and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are blistered.
4
Add Flavorings
Stir in the grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and transfer the blistered toasted shishito almonds to a serving bowl. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
