Ingredients:
- 1 pound of shishito peppers
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, heat up your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, rinse and dry the shishito peppers and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure the peppers are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Once the grill is hot, place the shishito peppers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are blistered and slightly charred. Make sure to turn them over halfway through cooking to ensure even charring.
Once the peppers are cooked, remove them from the grill and sprinkle with a bit of sea salt. Serve them on a plate and enjoy! These peppers are best served hot, and can be eaten as is or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
