🌶️ What Are Shish*to Peppers? (And Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Them?)
If you’ve never tried a shish*to pepper, you’re missing one of the easiest and most delicious summer vegetables around.
Shish*tos are a mild Japanese pepper with a thin skin, sweet flavor, and just a hint of smokiness when cooked. About 1 in 10 peppers may surprise you with a little extra heat, which makes eating them a fun game around the dinner table!
The best part? They’re incredibly easy to prepare:
🔥 Toss with olive oil and blister in a hot skillet for 5 minutes
🔥 Grill them alongside burgers, steaks, or chicken
🔥 Air fry until lightly charred
🔥 Sprinkle with sea salt and serve as an appetizer
🔥 Add to tacos, stir-fries, fried rice, ramen, or pizza
They’re packed with vitamins A and C and are one of the easiest ways to add fresh local vegetables to your weeknight meals.
Our shish*to peppers were grown locally and harvested fresh, meaning they’re picked at peak flavor—not shipped across the country.
Stop by and grab a bag before they’re gone. Once you start cooking shish*tos, they tend to become a summer habit. 🌶️
