Padrón peppers, also called Pimientos de Padrón, are easy and simple to make. The pepper itself is the flavour star of the dish. You only need 3 ingredients and just a few minutes to prepare this dish. I like to sprinkle a generous amount of salt on top, and serve them either warm or cold. Make them when hosting a Spanish tapas night, bring them along for a picnic, or serve them as a healthy snack.
