Quick + Easy Spanish Vegan Tapas Recipe - How To Make Pimientos De Padron

Padrón peppers

🥗Healthier: shishito peppers

💰Cheaper: green bell peppers

Shishito peppers offer a similar flavor profile, while green bell peppers are more accessible.

Wash the Padrón peppers and dry them well.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high to high heat.

Add the Padrón peppers to the hot pan and toss them with a lid on using a spatula or tongs.

Fry for 4-5 minutes until the skins start to blister and turn, making sure all sides are equally cooked.

Remove the peppers from the pan.

Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve immediately.
