Green Shishito chile peppers offer a fresh, vegetal flavor with hints of citrus and pepper. They deliver a mild heat, and when cooked, their taste deepens with savory, smoky undertones. These peppers are ideal for quick cooking methods like blistering, grilling, sautéing, or roasting. As they cook, their peppery notes become richer and take on a smoky flavor, making them a perfect match for salty and savory sauces.
Before cooking, be sure to puncture a small hole in each pepper to prevent them from bursting from the heat.
