Ingredients

4 servings

½ lb shishito peppers, (rinsed and dried thoroughly)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Generous pinch flaky sea salt, (for serving (optional))
Lemon wedges and/or dipping sauce,

Steps

Broiler Method: Adjust your oven rack so it's about 6 inches (15 cm) from the heating element and turn your broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Directly on the lined baking sheet, toss the peppers with the oil and salt. Spread the peppers in a single layer. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until blistered, then flip the peppers and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until evenly blistered. Remove from the oven and serve warm with lemon wedges and/or dipping sauce.Stovetop Method: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Add the peppers to the pan in a single layer. Let them cook, occasionally turning with tongs, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they are blistered and slightly charred on all sides.
Once blistered to your liking, transfer the peppers to a serving dish. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Serve with lemon wedges and/or dipping sauce.
