Tempura Fried Shishito Peppers step by step

1. Pour oil into a large rimmed cast iron pan and heat. I like sunflower 🌻 oil because of it’s high (450•) smoking point and neutral flavor, but any oil will do. Just get it hot as possible without any popping or smoking..
2. Mix flour, corn meal, corn starch, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl, pour in beer and incorporate into a batter.
3. Dip peppers in batter and fry them in oil until golden brown. I did batches of 8 to keep them manageable. The peppers will float, so keep tings ready to flip them over and cook both sides.
4. Using tongs, shake off, place them on a paper towel covered baking sheet to cool, and sprinkle with salt 🧂 immediately..
5. WOW! You just made an elevated appetizer or crispy snack to share with your friends! They must love you! Consider serving with Sriracha to dip :).
