Step 1
Pat the peppers dry with a paper towel. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add peppers in a single layer. Let them sit undisturbed for 2 minutes until the bottoms blister.
Step 3
Toss and shake the skillet every 30 seconds until all peppers are charred and blistered, ~4 minutes total.
Step 4
Push peppers to the side. Add sliced garlic to the oil and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds — don't let it brown.
Step 5
Toss peppers with garlic. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle generously with sea salt and red pepper flakes.
Step 6
Serve hot while peppers are still warm and crispy.
