Blackened Shishito Peppers
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5
Cook Time: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 12 oz. shishito peppers
- 1 t. light olive oil
- 3 T. Trader Joe’s Chimichurri, or your favorite store bought Chimichurri
- 1 lime
- Kosher salt
Directions
Lightly toss shishito peppers with olive oil to coat. Heat a cast iron skillet or large sauté pan over high heat—or place a grill pan directly on a very hot grill.
Once the pan is smoking hot, add the peppers. Cook, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots on all sides.
Transfer the blistered peppers to a bowl. Toss immediately with chimichurri sauce, then finish with fresh lime zest and a generous sprinkle of kosher salt.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
