Easy Sauteed Shishito Peppers Recipe

Last year I visited Vail for my wellness travel series, What to Eat & How to Burn it Off and fell in love, once again, with shishito peppers.

Sauteeing Shishito Peppers

Smoky, earthy and packed with nutrients, they take less than 10 minutes to cook and couldn’t be any easier to prepare. A relatively mild pepper, about one in every ten is a bit on the spicier side.
