Instructions
 

Instructions for Peppers:

  • Preheat your outdoor or indoor grill to medium-high heat.
  • Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, and garlic to a medium-sized bowl. Add the peppers into the bowl and toss to combine. Add the sea salt and pepper to taste. Let marinate for 3-5 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, add the sesame seeds and toast lightly, making sure not to burn the seeds. Set aside.
  • Take the peppers out of the bowl and transfer them to the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes, occasionally flipping with a pair of tongs. Caution: they will pop as they cook. If they have not popped by the end of the cooking time, take a knife and carefully pierce to pop.
  • Once the peppers are blistered and charred, carefully remove them from the grill and transfer the peppers to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
