It doesn’t get any easier or tastier than this! The shishito pepper has great flavor but no heat what so ever, so it’s great for everyone! Just toss the peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper then roast until charred. That’s it! And you don’t even need any and flatware, just pick up with your fingers and eat them right off the stem!
