For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soy-ginger glaze. If you don't have an air fryer, you can broil the peppers in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until blistered and tender, watching carefully to prevent burning. Shishito peppers are known for their mild flavor, but occasionally you'll find one with a surprising amount of heat. Consider it a delightful surprise! Experiment with different citrus juices, such as lemon or yuzu, for a unique twist on the glaze. The quality of your soy sauce and honey will greatly impact the final flavor. Opt for high-quality ingredients for the best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). This ensures optimal blistering and even cooking. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, gently toss the shishito peppers with the vegetable oil, ensuring each pepper is lightly coated. (1 minute)
03
StepArrange the peppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even blistering and tenderness. Look for slight charring and a softened texture. (7 minutes)
04
StepWhile the peppers are air-frying, prepare the glaze. In the same medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and grated ginger until well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepOnce the peppers are cooked, immediately transfer them to the bowl with the soy-ginger glaze. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat each pepper evenly. (1 minute)
06
StepServe the glazed shishito peppers warm, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a chiffonade of fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
