Long Hot Peppers Recipe

Simply known as “long hots”, this Long Hot Peppers Recipe is ubiquitous in the Philadelphia and New Jersey areas and considered one of the best sandwich toppings around!

It’s a classic way to add some heat and loads of flavor to whatever you’re eating, whether it be pizza, pasta, pork or anything between two slices of bread.

Ingredients

Long Hot Peppers Oil Coarse Sea Salt

1.

Gather all ingredients. Be sure to rinse in cold water and completely dry the peppers before cooking.

2.

If you will be roasting the peppers, preheat oven to 400°F. Rub each long hot lightly with oil. Then, place the whole peppers in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and place in oven.

3.

Roast 10 to 15 minutes on one side, then turn each pepper over using tongs and continue roasting another 10 to 15 minutes. The peppers are done when tender and lightly browned.

4.

If you will be frying the peppers, add enough oil to a large pan with high sides or a Dutch oven to about ¼” depth. Heat it over medium-high heat.

5.

Place the whole long hots in a single layer on the bottom of the pan and let them brown before turning. Brown on multiple sides and until tender.
