Air fried shishito peppers have snuck their way into my life and they are hands down my new favorite snack to eat. We had them for the first time in this restaurant by our apartment in New York and since then I buy them on the regular, especially when I am on night shifts. I through them in the air fryer and in minutes I have the perfect pre-shift snack.
How long do you cook them in the air fryer?
Shishito peppers only take minutes to make in the air fryer. First you pre-heat your air fryer to 400F. After, place your shishito peppers inside and cook for eight minutes, tossing them half way through.
Are these Air Fried Shishito Peppers difficult to make?
Definitely not! This air fried shishito peppers recipe has the shishito peppers falling off the stem right when you take a bite. They are an extremely easy snack or appetizer to make when you are pinched for time. All you have do is spray them with a little bit of cooking oil and pop them in your air fryer for 8 minutes. Toss them half way and then remove. Once you have taken them out, squeeze a little bit of lemon juice, drizzle some balsamic glaze, and finish with sea salt. That’s all it takes!
My wife is actually really proud of this recipe because she came up with adding the balsamic glaze and if I am being honest, it was pretty genius. It gives the shishito peppers a sweet and tangy taste that is complement with the fresh lemon juice and salt.
