Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating up, rinse the Pimientos de Padrón peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Once the oil is hot, add the Pimientos de Padrón peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are blistered and slightly charred. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

Remove the peppers from the skillet and place them on a rustic wooden platter or ceramic dish. Sprinkle the sea salt over the peppers and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
