Preparation
Chef’s notes
Make sure you pat dry the peppers since water droplets can cause splatter when they hit the hot pan.
You can eat the entire pepper, but discard the stem. The seeds inside are edible.
To Grill Shishito Peppers:
Heat grill to medium heat, about 350 ̊F. Oil the peppers and put them on the grates of a hot grill or if the peppers are smaller and may fall through the grates, add them to a preheated grill basket. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side or until blistered and browned.
