Method

Preparation

1

Wash the Peppers

Rinse the shishito peppers thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

2

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, and lemon juice until well combined.

Grilling

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

4

Coat the Peppers

In a mixing bowl, toss the shishito peppers with the marinade until they are evenly coated.

5

Grill the Peppers

Place the coated shishito peppers directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.

6

Remove from Grill

Once the peppers are charred, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.

Serving

7

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle additional sea salt on the grilled shishito peppers if desired. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
