Are Shishito peppers hot?
These little green peppers are actually quite mild.
When they are cooking up in the air fryer, they give off a smell similar to a jalapeno, but the taste is much milder.
Shishito Peppers are on the low end of the heat scale, so to speak. They say roughly 1 in 10 peppers is spicy.
