Grilled Shishito Peppers

A classic method for cooking shishito peppers.

1 cup (or more) shishito peppers
1 tablespoon (or more) extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Cayenne (optional)

Heat your grill pan, cast-iron skillet, or heavy-bottomed pan over very high heat.

Toss the peppers with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Drop the peppers on the hot skillet, and cook, turning occasionally, until the peppers have softened and are charred in spots.

Remove from heat and sprinkle kosher salt and the optional pinch of cayenne over the peppers (shishito peppers are not spicy). Eat piping hot.
