Instructions

Preheat the grill to high heat. Toss the shishito peppers with the olive oil in a large bowl until the peppers are well coated, then skewer the peppers onto the skewers.

Reduce the heat to medium high and place the skewers on the grill. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until charred, then turn using tongs and cook another 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Remove the peppers from the skewers and toss with lemon juice, flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Peppers Thoroughly 💧
Pat shishito peppers completely dry with paper towels before grilling—moisture prevents proper charring and blistering, resulting in steamed rather than smoky peppers.
Oil Them Right Before Heat 🫒
Toss peppers with extra virgin olive oil immediately before cooking rather than ahead of time, as oil can smoke and burn if it sits on high-heat surfaces for too long.
Don't Move Them Too Much 🛑
Resist the urge to stir constantly; let peppers sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side to develop deep char marks and concentrated smoky flavor.
Finish with Fleur de Sel, Not Table Salt ✨
Use fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt added after cooking rather than coarse sea salt—it dissolves slightly from residual heat while providing delicate texture and won't overwhelm the delicate peppers.
Squeeze Lemon at the Last Second 🍋
Add fresh lemon juice just before serving to preserve its bright acidity and prevent it from cooking off or becoming bitter on the hot peppers.
