1 Heat a large cast iron skillet to high heat. Add the peppers to the dry skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and blistering, about 6 to 8 minutes. As you work, try to keep the peppers in a single layer so that they make consistent contact with the hot pan.
2 Drizzle the peppers with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and squeeze with lemon juice, if desired. Find additional serving suggestions in the blog post above.
