Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Shishito peppers about 20 pieces
  • Cooking oil spray
  • Flaky sea salt to season

Shishito pepper dipping sauce ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • ½ Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Before you start, wash the peppers well and pat them dry with a kitchen paper towel or leave them to air dry. There is no need to remove the stalk from the peppers.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F/200C for 3 minutes.
  • Remove the basket from the air fryer and spray lightly with cooking oil.
  • Add the peppers to the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the top with more cooking oil, and then toss the peppers so that they are coated in oil.
  • Air fry the peppers for 5 minutes, then remove the air fry basket and flip them. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until blistered or charred to your liking.
  • Sprinkle the peppers with some sea salt and transfer to a platter. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it and serve with the dipping sauce below.

How to make the dipping sauce

  • Combine mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, sriracha, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. The dipping sauce can be used immediately or placed in the fridge until needed.
    The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
