INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound Shishito peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the Yoder Smokers Wood-fired Oven into the Yoder Smokers YS640S and preheat to 450F.
  2. Add the shishito peppers to a 12-inch cast iron pan and drizzle over the olive oil and sea salt. Using tongs, toss the peppers around gently to coat them with the salt and oil. Slice up a whole lemon and nestle the lemon wedges into the peppers.
  3. Place the cast iron pan into the pizza oven and “smoke cook” the peppers for ~6-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the peppers from the oven, gently turn them over to blister on all sides, and return them to the pizza oven for another 5-7 minutes or until they are blistered and bubbling. Serve immediately.
