Oven-roasted Japanese style blistered shishito peppers
Roasting shishito peppers in the oven doesn't take more than about 10 minutes, depending on your method and the cooking temperature. You don't even need many ingredients except for some olive oil or avocado oil and some sea salt for flavor. This helps the pepper skin blister.
