Ingredients

Shishito Peppers

  • 1/2 lb shishito peppers
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • flakey sea salt like Maldon

Garlic-Soy Mayo

  • 1/2 c mayo
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic grated

Instructions

Shishito Peppers

  • Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. In mixing bowl, toss the peppers with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
  • Place the peppers into the preheated skillet in a single even layer. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook them in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook the peppers, turning occasionally until they begin to blister and char on all sides.
  • Transfer the cooked peppers to a serving platter. Sprinkle with salt and serve with garlic-soy mayo for dipping.

Garlic-Soy Mayo

  • Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Notes

 
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:
  • Shishito Peppers: Padron peppers are a good substitute for shishito peppers. 
  • Mayo: Any kind of mayo – including vegan/plant based- is just fine for this recipe. 
  • Soy Sauce: For gluten or soy-free use Tamari or Coconut Aminos.
Reheating Leftovers:
  • Leftover Shishito Peppers can be reheated in a hot pan. Saute for 2-3 minutes, just until warm.
