Ingredients

  • 8 ounces shishito peppers
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Rinse the shishito peppers and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure proper blistering.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, toss the peppers with olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the seasoned peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow for maximum airflow.
  • Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the peppers are tender and the skins are blistered and charred in spots.
  • Transfer the peppers to a serving plate, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
