Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 6 ounces Shishito Peppers
  • Sprinkle of coarse sea salt
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. Add olive oil to pan and heat for 1-2 minutes. (You want the pan to be hot, but you don’t want the oil to start to smoke.)
  • Add Shishito Peppers to the pan (if they sizzle, you know the pan is hot enough). Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side. The peppers will begin to blister--that’s okay!
  • Transfer the peppers from the hot pan to a paper-towel lined plate. Sprinkle with sea salt and squeeze the lemon juice on top.
  • Serve them while hot. Bite them right off the stem and enjoy the sweet or spicy treat.
