Notes
- Make sure that the peppers are completely dry before adding them to the hot oil to unnecessary prevent splatters.
- The peppers will retain their moisture if the pan is covered with a lid. Also, it will trap the smoke, which the peppers will absorb making them more flavorful!
- You don’t actually have to cover the pan with a lid or remove it from heat during the flipping process, but I like to do it to avoid being splashed with hot oil.
- You can use other seasonings or flavorings other than salt. it really depends on what you like! However, we find that the simpler the seasoning, the more you get to enjoy its natural taste.
