How to Cook Shishito Peppers

Method

1. 1

   Wash and fully dry the shishito peppers before you cook them. You want to make sure they are dry so they blister correctly.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Heat a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   They should slightly blister on each side which lets you know they are done.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and place in a serving dish with extra salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
