Easy Blistered Shishito Peppers – Quick, Healthy & Low Carb

If you have never had shishito peppers, they are these fantastic little peppers with a mild, sweet and just slightly smoky flavor. Shishitos have a pretty thin skin, so they cook relatively quickly, and because of their convenient size, they are a great bite-sized snack. This Easy Blistered Shishito Peppers recipe will only take about 10 minutes, and it only has 5 simple ingredients. We like to enjoy these as a snack, appetizer or side dish. This recipe also has only 60 calories and 4 net carbs per serving, so it is both delicious and healthy!

Tips for making this recipe:

• Don’t over think it! Making this dish is really a very simple thing. You just heat up the skillet, blister the peppers a little, sprinkle on the other ingredients and enjoy! Oh, and use your hands to eat them. That’s really the only way!
• I almost always prefer a cast iron skillet over any other. This recipe is no exception. If you do not have a cast iron skillet, I REALLY recommend that you get one. It is such a great investment, as it should last you the rest of your life. Any other skillet should work fine in this recipe, though.
• If you are vegan or have a dairy allergy, go ahead and leave the parmesan cheese off. It adds a nice little finishing flavor, but it is completely optional, and the peppers will be delicious either way.
