Ingredients
- 3½ cups shishito peppers about 8 ounches
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other high heat oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Toss dried shishito peppers with oil in a large bowl until well coated.
- Heat pan: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat for about 2 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately.
- Blister the peppers: Add the shishito peppers in a single layer and let them blister on one side, about 2 minutes, while checking for burning. Flip them and let the other side blister. Note: Turn on the stovetop vent for this step.
- Season: Sprinkle on sea salt and sesame seeds then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to dry the shishito peppers well. Adding water and oil to a hot pan creates oil splatters. Be careful!
- Use high-heat oil with a high smoke point. Avocado oil, peanut oil, and canola oil are good options.
