Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. Padron peppers about 1.5 cups
- 2 tbsp oil*
- coarse sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash the peppers and make sure they are dry. In a small cast iron skillet heat the oil on medium heat, wait a minute for it to get hot.
- Put the peppers in the skillet and let them brown on one side for a minute or two, then turn them over to brown on the other side.
- Once they're sufficiently browned, remove them from the pan and place on a plate. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and enjoy immediately!
Notes
*A note on the oil: For this recipe you will want an oil that can withstand high heat. I used avocado oil because it is good for high heat/frying. I try to avoid canola and vegetable oils (read why). I think ghee might also work, but I haven't tried that yet.
