Grilled Shisito Peppers Recipe

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean to prevent sticking.

Coat the Peppers

In a bowl, toss the shisito peppers with olive oil and salt until they are evenly coated.

Grill the Peppers

Place the peppers directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and charred.

Remove from Grill

Once grilled, remove the peppers from the grill and set aside.

Combine Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, orange juice, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and water until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Consistency

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Plate the Dish

Arrange the grilled shisito peppers on a serving plate.

Drizzle the Sauce

Generously drizzle the citrus goma sauce over the grilled peppers.

Add Garnish

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro or parsley over the top for garnish.

Serve

Serve immediately while warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
