Ingredients
- 8 oz shishito peppers
- 1 TBSP avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp Sriracha
- kosher salt to taste (flaked salt works too)
- toasted sesame seeds to taste
Instructions
- Peel and finely mince garlic. Combine with soy sauce and Sriracha in a medium-large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Rinse peppers and pat dry to remove any moisture.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and mix to coat them in oil. I like using my cast iron skillet here.
- Cook until they begin to blister on multiple sides, mixing around occasionally for even blistering. They should be done in approx. 8-12 minutes. Cook to desired level of tenderness.
- Transfer to mixing bowl with sauce and mix to coat. Finish off with a pinch of kosher salt, to taste, and toasted sesame seeds. You can even add a little Sriracha on top for extra heat. Enjoy hot!

Notes
- The heat in this recipe comes from the Sriracha chili sauce. Make them as spicy as you'd like by adding extra Sriracha to taste. You can also dust the peppers with cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for another level of heat. I've done this before and it's fiery and delicious!
