We picked up these Padron peppers from our local farmer's market, cooked them up in a little olive oil, sprinkled sea salt on them and enjoyed...! They couldn't be easier to make and, amazingly, our 3-year old liked them!

The bigger ones tend to pack more heat -- but, even then, it's still a little like pepper roulette, some are hot, some are not -- so we gave him just the smallest ones.

We liked them so much the first time around, we got more and prepared them for a dinner we had on the beach (enjoyed while we waited for fireworks to light up the sky...)!

Ingredients

  • Padron peppers
  • about 1 tbsp. of olive oil
  • sea salt to taste

Rinse peppers and pat dry.

Heat olive oil in skillet and add peppers when oil is hot

Remove from pan when skin begins to puff up and wrinkle.

Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!
