    Shishitos, as others have said. If you really want to enjoy them, toss ’em in some olive oil and a little salt, then throw ’em under the broiler for a few minutes until they start to blacken a little. GodDAMN what a tasty snack.

    A bit of sesame oil, on the grill/pan to darken, finish it off with some soy sauce – best snack ever.

    Most likely Shishitos, but if they have a consistent heat they could also be Padrons.

    It’s been over a decade since I moved away from my old house with the big yard and huge chili garden, but upon discovering shishitos last year I now have four potted shishito plants (huge pots) on my patio. They’re thriving so far, and I can’t wait to see what the yield is 😀

    I second the poster that said to toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and broil them (I pan sear them in cast iron, but similar concept… delicious blistered peppers)

    I’ve never tried making salsa with them (they get eaten long before that idea comes up). What’s your recipe?

    Pepperonchinis also look a lot like shishtos.

    Shishito! Char them over a flame, put them in a plastic covered bowl to steam a bit, then dress with a little bit of oil and dip into soy and eat like candy. 1 in 10 will be surprisingly hot. Delicious little peppers. One of my top three.
