Roasted Shishito Peppers with Everything Bagel Spice

Roasted Shishito Peppers with Everything Bagel Spice

You can cook shishito peppers in a cast iron pan, in a hot sauté pan, or in a grill pan on the BBQ (otherwise they will fall through the grates). I prefer cooking them under the broiler, which is fast and mess-free. If you’d like to serve this with a sauce, make a batch of my herbed yogurt sauce and serve it on the side.

Ingredients

12 ounces shishito peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Pan-Roasted Shishito Peppers

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces shishito peppers
1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon Maldon or other crunchy sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the broiler. Line a sheetpan with parchment paper.
Toss the shishito peppers with oil and broil on the top rack until charred and crispy in spots, about 1 minute.
Carefully remove pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle with everything spice. Transfer to a platter, scraping extra spice mix on top of the shishitos on the platter. Serve with lemon wedges or herbed yogurt sauce.

Pan-Seared

In a cast iron or wide sauté pan, heat olive oil until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the peppers and cook them over medium-high, stirring after about a minute so they can blister in the hot pan. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to soften and char a panful of peppers.
When they're done, toss them with a squeeze of fresh lemon and salt. Slide the peppers into a bowl or small platter and serve them hot. You pick them up by the stem end and eat them whole (minus the stem of course!).

Notes

These are also delicious topped with Everything Bagel Seasoning instead of salt. You
won’t need any extra added salt because bagel seasoning is already salty!
