Air Fryer Shishito Peppers
Description
The Air Fryer Shishito Peppers recipe uses 8 ounces of fresh shishito peppers, coated lightly with extra virgin olive oil spray, then cooked at 400°F in an air fryer for eight minutes. Shaking the basket halfway through ensures even charring and tenderness while blistering the skins. The quick, high heat method crisps some edges without burning.
The final seasoning with kosher salt and a squeeze of lemon wedges adds a subtle saltiness and citrus brightness that complement the mild pepper flavor and slight smokiness from blistering. The texture is soft with occasional pops of charred skin, giving a nice contrast.
This dish works well as a light appetizer, a side, or a snack. Serving warm is best for texture and flavor enjoyment. It is a straightforward approach to cooking shishito peppers that preserves their natural character with a simple, clean seasoning.
