Ingredients
Blistered Shishito Peppers
- 8 oz shishito peppers
- 1 TBSP avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt or flaked salt, to taste
- crushed red pepper flakes to taste (optional for some extra heat)
Spicy Shishito Sauce
- 2 TBSP Tahini
- 1.5 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
- 1 tsp paprika (sweet/regular)
- ¼-½ tsp ground cayenne pepper
- ⅛ tsp sea salt or to taste
Instructions
- Wash peppers then rub/pat dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture. We want them nice and dry.
- Heat oil in large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add peppers and stir to coat them in the oil. I like using my cast iron skillet here.
- Cook until they begin to blister on multiple sides, mixing around occasionally (every minute or so) for even blistering.
- They should be done in approx. 8-12 minutes and you'll hear some sizzles and pops along the way. Cook to desired level of tenderness.
- Season with kosher salt (or flaked salt) and enjoy!
Spicy Shishito Sauce
- To make this fiery dipping sauce, blend the above ingredients into a smooth sauce using an immersion blender (my fav tool ever) or a small food processor.
- For a spicier sauce, add extra cayenne. You could even add a little sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the mix for both heat and flavor.
Notes

- I often cook my peppers in avocado oil because of it's mild flavor and high smoke point. To give the oil a smoky sesame kissed flavor, you can replace some of the avocado oil with a little sesame oil (start at 1/4 tsp and increase to taste) when you sauté or blister your shishitos.
- For a gluten-free dip, use low-sodium GF Tamari Sauce or you could also try subbing coconut aminos or another favorite gluten-free soy sauce swap, to taste.
- Nutrition Facts below are estimated for 4 (2 oz) servings of shishitos with the spicy dipping sauce using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
