Easy Air Fryer Shishito Peppers

Blistered shishito peppers are one of my favorite side dishes! They are cute little bite sized Japanese peppers that offer a nice burst of flavor.

Usually the peppers are mild, but every 10 or so is spicy hot, so eating them is adventure because you never know what you will get!
