Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz shishito peppers
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil, swirl, then add peppers in a single layer. Cook 2 minutes without moving until blistered on the bottom.
  2. Flip peppers and cook another 1-2 minutes until charred all over and tender. Shake the pan for 30 seconds.
  3. Pile peppers onto a plate, shower with flaky salt, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

These are best eaten right away. Any leftovers lose their crispness but are still tasty at room temperature, chopped into eggs or tacos.
