The green
Shishito peppers
are great roasted or sauteed. You can grill or cook in a frying pan. We slice them up very thin, saute in some olive oil and add to our salad, also just throw them whole on the bbq or in a fry pan with a little olive oil, and roast until the skin darkens, eat as a side dish. They are neither spicy or sweet, just delicious for what they are!
