Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz Shishito Peppers
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Sea Salt, to taste

Tangy Dip

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peppers: Rinse the shishito peppers under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly to ensure they blister nicely without steaming during cooking.
  2. Blister the Peppers: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the peppers and cook, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and slightly charred, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Season the Peppers: Remove the peppers from heat and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss gently to coat evenly, letting the residual heat intensify the flavors.
  4. Make the Tangy Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, and paprika until smooth and well combined.
  5. Serve Together: Transfer the blistered shishito peppers to a serving plate alongside the tangy dip, ready for dipping and enjoying immediately.

Notes

  • Dry peppers well before cooking to avoid steaming and ensure perfect blistering.
  • Use a heavy skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel for even heat distribution.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook peppers in batches if necessary for best char and texture.
  • Use fresh minced garlic in the dip for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor as blistered peppers soften over time.
