Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat a large, heavy skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil, depending on your preference and the size of your skillet.  

  2. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the Padron peppers to the skillet. You can leave them whole with the stems on. Let the peppers cook, undisturbed, for about 3–5 minutes or until they start to blister and char. Use tongs to turn them occasionally, so they cook evenly. 

  3. Once the Padron peppers are tender, blistered, and slightly charred, remove them from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.  

  4. While the peppers are still hot, generously sprinkle them with coarse sea salt.
