Let’s Do It

Step 1

Heat a cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Toss shishitos and oil in a bowl so that peppers are coated. Cook shishitos in an even layer, turning or tossing occasionally until mostly blistered on all sides.

Step 2

Remove blistered shishitos from pan. Serve on a plate with a very healthy couple pinches of flaky salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Eat immediately.
