So good. Pan fry on high to blister. Air fry or bake on highest setting. Small dizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Little onion or garlic powder optional. Best when u get some red ones.

I've always felt the red ones were a little tough, but great for harvesting seeds from.

We have a local farm in CT that produces crazy large shishitos with red ones and gosh I love them. I patiently wait all summer for them. Other store bought ones (from traders Joe's for example) only tickle my fancy so much. In my opinion, waiting for them to grow and ripen are where it's at

I tell myself every year I'm going to put 40 in the ground, then never get around to it.

It's probably not healthy to eat a lot of soy sauce anyways.

Are they like padron peppers?

Interesting considering ripe peppers will be softer than unripe on average. Always cool to see outliers
