Step 1

Rinse the peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel. Transfer the peppers to a mixing bowl, drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat until it’s hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately. Add the peppers and let them cook, stirring only every minute or so, allowing them to char on the sides touching the pan.

Step 3

Season with salt while cooking until the peppers are tender with plenty of charred spots, about 8 minutes. Take care not to overcook. The peppers should still have a bit of a crisp bite to them.

Step 4

Transfer the peppers to a serving plate. Season with lemon juice, if desired. Sprinkle with a bit more salt, taste, and adjust salt as needed.
