Hello , my chili plant has some strange dots on its leaves. Does anyone know what they are and whether I should worry about it ?

Thank you!

"and whether I should worry about it ?"

With beautiful looking fruit like that? Is this a trick question?

Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it....

I agree nothing serious. Those peppers are serious though! They look good and healthy! Time to harvest and eat.

You did a great job on your first chili. The leaf is normal wear for leaves nothing to worry about.

Get a book to read and leave the plant alone. Nothing will kill a chile plant quicker than too much grower attention.
