Ingredients:

  • 12 oz shishito peppers, stems trimmed
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions:

  1. Wash the shishito peppers and pat them completely dry with paper towels to prevent steaming; place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle 1 tbsp avocado oil over the peppers and toss thoroughly until every pepper is lightly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Place the peppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer; cook in batches if they do not fit in one layer.
  5. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 3 minutes, until the skins are blistered and deep charred.
  6. Immediately transfer the sizzling peppers to a serving plate.
  7. Toss the peppers with 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, or drizzle with a mixture of 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, and 1 tsp honey.
