    Sometimes simple is best, and these Keto Shishito Peppers with Bacon are just simply delicious. If shishito peppers are an ingredient you are unfamiliar with don’t worry, this is a great way to try them out for the first or fiftieth time.

    A few years ago, we had never heard of shishito peppers, but we happened to stumble across them in a Trader Joe’s and were intrigued. We grabbed a package of them and when we got home Googled how to cook them and ended up blistering them in our skillet and eating them on the side with a salmon filet.

    We were hooked immediately! Shishito peppers have a very mild flavor but roughly one in ten is significantly spicier than the rest (though it’s still not as hot as a jalapeño), but it made dinner somewhat playful, guessing whose plate would have the spicy one or which bite might be the one.

    We have been seeing shishito peppers everywhere lately, as they become more common. We grabbed these at a farmer’s market and blistering them in the bacon grease has become our favorite way to prepare them. We also love this easy shishito pepper recipe!
