Shishito Peppers Recipe

Shishito Peppers are a great snack or appetizer with a mild heat that most people can enjoy. You just roast up the whole peppers with a bit of oil and salt then dip in your preferred sauce.

These are fantastic for parties because they are a fun finger food.

Are Shishito Peppers Hot

Shishito peppers are on the low end of the pepper heat scale. That being said, they are mostly mild. Every now and then you’ll get one that makes your ears burn a little. I find usually the smaller ones are the culprit. But overall shishito peppers are mild.

How To Cook Shishito Peppers In An Air Fryer

Grease air fryer basket and preheat to 400ºF.
Thoroughly wash peppers.
Toss peppers with oil then transfer to air fryer basket, arrange in an even layer.
Air fry for 10-15 minutes or to desired char. Toss once during cook time.
Sprinkle with salt and serve with dips.

Dips: I serve with two types of dips.

The first is just mayo, chili powder and a squeeze of hot sauce mixed together.

The second is soy sauce with a splash of toasted sesame oil topped with sesame seeds.
