Roasted Shishito Peppers with Spicy Yogurt Sauce
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
Peppers
  • 1 pound shishito peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Sauce
  • ½ cup (~ 5 ounces) fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Sriracha) - adjust amount to taste
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make Peppers:
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Wash and dry peppers and place in a large bowl.
  3. Toss with about a tablespoon of olive oil (enough to coat lightly).
  4. Place peppers on a cookie sheet in one layer. Roast for 8 minutes and toss peppers. Roast for another 5 to 7 minutes until soft and blistered. They will deflate when you remove them from the oven.
  5. Transfer peppers to a platter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make Sauce:
  1. Place Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, ketchup, hot sauce, smoked paprika and salt in the bowl of a small food processor. Process until smooth. Taste and add more lemon juice, hot sauce and/or salt if needed.
  2. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
* Peppers can be made a few hours in advance. Cover and store at room temperature.
* Sauce can be made the day before. Stir before serving.
