Super Easy Blistered Shishito Peppers Recipe

Blistered Shishito Peppers are a headliner on restaurant appetizer menus these days, but they’re actually super easy to make at home! 

You might nibble your way through an entire batch and not score a kicky one. Or … it could be the very first one that your shishito-newbie friend grabs from the platter.

• olive oil • shishito peppers • salt

Ingredients

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add peppers whole (do not remove stems or seeds), and toss to coat completely in hot oil. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt.

1.

Cook peppers, stirring frequently to be sure peppers are seared and blistered all over, for 9-10 minutes (or until peppers are done to your liking).

2.

Toss with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and serve immediately.

3.

It doesn’t take much oil for this to happen, but getting a complete coating of oil on each shishito is key to getting a great sear on your peppers.
