Roasted Sesame Shishito Peppers with Soy Garlic Aioli

I made these roasted sesame shishito peppers with soy garlic aioli because my daughter absolutely loves to snack on those tasty peppers. I recently decided to surprise her with these roasted shishito peppers for a snack and paired them with her favorite dipping sauce–soy garlic aioli. I normally saute the peppers in a skillet but decided to try roasting them this time. I tossed them in some vegetable oil and sesame oil then roasted until tender and blistered. I tossed them with some sea salt and served them with the aioli. My daughter happily devoured these roasted sesame shishito peppers and said they were amazing in the aioli.

How to Make Roasted Sesame Shishito Peppers with Soy Garlic Aioli

Make the aioli in a small bowl by combining the mayonnaise, soy sauce, and minced garlic together until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors time to mingle.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Toss the shishito peppers on a baking sheet with the vegetable oil and sesame oil until evenly coated.

Roast for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and blistered.

Remove from the oven and season with sea salt and toasted sesame seeds, to taste. Serve with the aioli on the side. Enjoy.
