Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (plus more for drizzling at the end)
  • ½ pound shishito peppers, cleaned
  • salt and cracked black pepper to taste

garnish

  • toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Place cast iron skillet over high heat. Once skillet is hot add oils.
  • Carefully add peppers to pan and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, moving them around the pan frequently. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once peppers have charred/blistered all around and have begun to wilt remove from heat. Adjust seasonings.
  • Drizzle peppers with sesame oil and top with toasted sesame seeds. Serve.

Notes

  • **If using a grill, toss peppers in oils and season with salt and pepper before placing on the grill. It may also be helpful to use a grill basket, to ensure none of the little peppers fall through the grill grates.
