Ingredients

  • 8 ounces shishito peppers
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • ½ lemon
  • coarse sea salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Rinse shishito peppers, then dry thoroughly so no moisture remains. Use a sharp knife to randomly poke peppers to prevent steam from building up when charring. Toss peppers with oil in a large bowl.

Step 2
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place peppers in the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding.

Step 3
Cook for 2 minutes without moving the peppers. Peppers may sizzle and pop. Turn peppers over and cook for 2 minutes more. Turn heat off and squeeze lemon over the peppers, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Cook’s Note:

Use any high-heat oil such as avocado or peanut oil. You may use olive oil in a pinch, but it can smoke up your kitchen.
