Notes
Shishito peppers are best enjoyed right away while they're still warm.
Hold each pepper by the stem and eat the pepper, including the seeds. Discard the stem.
Optional serving ideas:
Squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice over the peppers.
Combine 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice with 1 teaspoon tamari for dipping.
Sprinkle with vegan furikake. Check the ingredients since some varieties contain fish or other non-vegan ingredients.
If your air fryer is too small to arrange the peppers in a single layer, cook them in batches so they blister rather than steam.
