Blistered Padrón Peppers

From the kitchen of Carly

Small peppers charred until their skin blisters and blackens, the flesh turning tender and slightly sweet. A high-heat skillet does the work in minutes. Finish with flaky salt that clings to every wrinkle. Simple, addictive, gone in seconds.

Ingredients

4 servings

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add half of the peppers; cook, tossing occasionally, until skins are blistered and flesh is softened, about 4 minutes.
