Japanese Green Shishito Peppers and Sea Salt

These Japanese green shishito peppers are small, thin-walled, and naturally wrinkled, delivering a reliably mild and sweet profile with a pleasant smoky finish when cooked. Because each batch occasionally includes one hotter specimen, they provide a consistently engaging eating rhythm without overwhelming heat.

Searing them in a screaming-hot cast iron pan creates blistered, charred edges while keeping the interior tender. A light dusting of flaky sea salt applied right after cooking enhances their natural freshness. Their straightforward preparation turns this simple vegetable into an impressive shareable small plate for any occasion.
