Shishito peppers are a beloved Japanese variety known for their mild, slightly smoky, and sweet flavor-- though one in every ten packs a surprising spicy punch. They are traditionally blistered in a hot skillet or on a grill and served with flaky salt, lemon, and dipping sauces as an appetizer or bar snack. Their thin skin and tender flesh also lend themselves to tempura, stir-fries, and as a pizza topping.
