1tablespoonneutral oil of your choice (olive, vegetable, canola, grapeseed, etc)
6ouncesshishito peppers

Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the peppers, and turn them every couple of minutes, as they brown on the bottom, until they are browned in spots and blistered all over. This will take about 10 minutes total.
Toss the peppers with salt and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Are Shishito Peppers Hot?
Usually, no. They are mild and fairly sweet, as peppers go. However, 1 in a dozen will be hot, and possibly ridiculously hot. You can’t tell by looking at them which ones are hot, so you may be chomping away and get a little surprise somewhere along the way. It’s kind of part of the fun of it, nature’s way of keeping us on our toes, I guess.
