Blistered Shishito Peppers (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 Tablespoon olive oil

02 - 8 oz fresh shishito peppers

03 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

04 - 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

05 - 2 teaspoons honey

06 - Sea salt or flake salt, for garnish

07 - Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
