Air-fried Shishito Peppers
A super easy crowd-pleasing plant-based snack ready to serve in just 10 minutes!
Why shishito peppers?
Because they’re mild, perfectly sized, and don’t require any prep work.
You literally just spritz them with olive oil (or don’t) and throw them in the air fryer.
Maybe this isn’t so much a recipe as it is a method…
Either way, it’s good stuff!
My husband likes to eat the peppers plain with a touch of salt. I
like a dipping sauce on the side and one that can be made up while the peppers are doing their thing in the air-fryer.
For the sauce, I just mixed together some vegan mayo, sriracha sauce, and a pinch of sea salt.
Easy!

It’s super simple and tasty! Start with 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise then add 1-2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (more or less depending on heat preference) and sea salt, to taste.
