- Shishito Peppers – I used ones fresh from the garden. If you can find them in season, try local ones.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive & I like to keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value.
- Toasted Sesame Oil: The sesame oil gives the perfect toasty flavor to the peppers.
- Garlic Salt: for a sprinkle of flavor and saltiness, which is really great on the peas!
- Lemon Juice – for a little extra pop of flavor at the end.
Perfect Peppers in the Air Fryer
We have a Cosori Air Fryer (it has legit over 30k positive reviews on Amazon) and we are in LOVE with this thing! Since we don’t use a microwave, this air fryer is perfect for heating up things quickly. It’s been really fun to make all kinds of recipes in the Air Fryer: crispy vegetables, tofu, muffins, and it’s great for reheating leftovers.
I was an air fryer skeptic for a long time, but highly recommend this air fryer for anyone who loves to cook! I got this one as a gift, so would also recommend this as a great gift for friends or family.
How Do I Air Fry Shishito Peppers?
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, toasted sesame oil, garlic salt, and shishito peppers. Toss well to combine.
- Place the peppers in the hot air fryer basket (or air fryer rack, depending on your model).
- Set air fryer to 400 degrees, and cook for 6 minutes. Halfway through cooking, shake well.
- Once peppers have finished cooking, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the peppers, and serve hot!
