Padron Peppers- The Best Salty Snack Your Hips Will Love

One of the hardest things about trying to eat healthy all the time is there just are not that many good for you salty snacks. I know people think popcorn is a good choice, but some how on me it adds pounds.

 

Turning to veggies as snacks is the answer, but they are not always fast and sometimes they just feel like the punishment tray when you have to stay away from the crispy or fried snacks.

 

A few years ago we discovered these little peppers that are in season right now and they are the snacking answer. When I can get them I buy as many as I can find since they are easy to make and yummy to eat.

 

 

Padron Peppers

Salt

Pam

 

Heat a skillet up on the stove so it is hot, hot, hot. Spray it with Pam and fill that thing up will the peppers. You want to cook them hot and fast so they blister and turn brown. I use the flick of the wrist technique to flip them around in the pan, but it you have not mastered that move just stir them every so often. After about 4 mins. sprinkle them with salt and serve.

 

TO eat them you pick them up by thee stem and bite the pepper off the stem. They are usually not too hot, meaning spicy, but once in awhile one will really give you a little zing.
