Pan Roasted Shishito Peppers
Posted by terrepruitt on February 5, 2018
This post is quite out of season. Since I received the peppers in August, I am thinking they are a summer veggie, but I came across my pictures of peppers and was wondering about them. You may have heard (by way of reading) that years ago, I decided to get a delivery of an organic produce box. I decided to get the box so that I would get produce delivered to me that I might not – ok, never, that I would never buy. And it worked . . . in the beginning. In the first few years I would sometimes get something I didn’t know what to do with. And that would lead to me trying something new. Way back in the beginning (I actually didn’t realize it had been so long), I received Shishito peppers. I did not know what to do with them. So I did my normal. I roasted them. Although instead of using the oven I pan roasted them.
Not really a recipe, but:
________________________________
Pan Roasted Shishito Peppers
Shishito peppers
salt
oil
Heat the oil in a pan. Put the pepper in the pan. Saute/roast them until they are slightly browned. Salt them, to taste.
Serve.
________________________________
They can be served with a dip or a sauce, but we just ate them like this. They were good, but not something I would crave or need to make again. They are not hot. If you have ever read any of my recipe posts you know I don’t like spicy hot. And these have no heat at all. Although they say that every once in a while there will be one with heat.
According to myfitnesspal 1/2 cup of cooked peppers has
100 Calories and no fat
50 mg of sodium and 15 g of carb
10 g of sugar and 5 g of protein
LOTS of vitamin C 170% and 80% Vitamin A
No fiber and pretty much nothing else.
Have you every heard of them? Do you cook with them? Do you cook them? How do you prepare Shishito Peppers?

I read that 1 in 10 shishito peppers are hot. I used to buy them at Trader Joe’s during the season because R and I like them. Once I got a bag where 25-30% were hot and (funnily enough because R and I like spicy and H doesn’t) H kept getting the spicy ones despite me telling them they weren’t supposed to be hot so I don’t get them as often anymore.

Yup, that is the way it is. The person that doesn’t like spicy will get the spicy ones. The person that doesn’t like cats will end up with the cat lying all over them. Murphey’s Law. 🙂
Did you cook them or eat them raw?
