Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Peppers

Rinse the Padrón peppers under cold water and 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

Add the Padrón peppers to the pan in a single layer. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes until they are blistered and slightly charred. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4

Season and Serve

Remove the peppers from the pan, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve immediately.
