This dish comes together in just 15 minutes, making it the perfect party starter, game-day snack, or weeknight treat. It’s proof that you don’t need a long ingredient list or hours in the kitchen to serve up something seriously tasty. So, fire up that air fryer and let’s blister some peppers!
Ingredients:
For the Peppers
- 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Chili Lime Seasoning
- 1 lb shishito peppers

For the Spicy Dipping Sauce

Instructions:
1. Blister the Peppers: Place the shishito peppers in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Add 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Chili Lime Seasoning and toss to coat evenly.
