How to Cook Shishito Peppers
If you have ever wondered How to Cook Shishito Peppers you are in the right place!
Servings: 2 -4
Ingredients
- 1/2 of a pound of shishito peppers washed and dried
- 1 Tablespoon of oil {I like olive oil sesame or avocado oil}
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 of a lemon juiced {optional}
Instructions
- Wash and fully dry the shishito peppers before you cook them. You want to make sure they are dry so they blister correctly.
- Next toss the peppers in olive oil, sesame oil or avocado oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper on them along with any additional spices you like.
- Heat a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Transfer the shishito peppers to the hot skillet in a single layer and sauté, stirring and tossing occasionally, until peppers are beginning to char and soften which takes about 5-6 minutes.
- They should slightly blister on each side which lets you know they are done.
- Remove from the heat and place in a serving dish with extra salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- Feel free to use any spices you like.
- The lemon juice is optional as a finishing touch.
