### Tips for the Best Padrón Peppers

* **Choose fresh peppers** with vibrant green color and no blemishes.
* **Dry peppers well** to get that perfect blistered skin.
* **Use a hot grill** to char without overcooking. The peppers should be tender but still hold a slight crunch.
* **Don’t overcrowd the grill,** so each pepper chars evenly.
* **Pair with a cold beverage,** like a crisp white wine or a refreshing beer, to balance the occasional spicy kick.
