When a friend handed me these garden fresh shishito peppers from his Summer harvest recently – I knew exactly what would be happening next – a visit to the air fryer of course!
These Japanese peppers aren’t too spicy, and have a nice sweetness to them. Just a little coating of oil helps them crisp up. I prefer to salt to taste after cooking – not before.
You could also go a little further than six minutes but do keep an eye on the peppers. Once they start to crisp the progress quickly and you don’t want to overly char them.
Please ensure your food is always thoroughly cooked. We recommend investing in a reliable kitchen thermometer. Check out the affordable selection on Amazon - there's something at every price point.
