  • 1 dry pint shishito peppers (about 20 peppers)
  • cooking spray
  • salt to taste (large flake, if available)

Instructions

  • Place the shishito peppers in the air fryer basket. 
  • Spritz with a little cooking spray and shake the basket to evenly distribute.
  • Air fry for 5 to 6 minutes at 390 degrees, shaking half way through, until the peppers are blistered and lightly charred in areas.

Optional serving suggestions:

  • Serve the shishito peppers with a dipping sauce made of 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice combined with 1 teaspoon tamari.
  • Sprinkle the peppers with Furikake seasoning. (Be sure the check the ingredients to make sure it's vegan since some blends contain fish/seafood products.)
  • Squeeze a lemon or lime over the peppers before serving.
