Sesame Blistered Shishito Peppers. A Whole30, Low Carb, Vegan appetizer or quick snack that is perfect for date night, game night or book club!
If you are not on the Shishito Pepper train, get in line and grab your ticket. Not only are these peppers ridiculously easy to prepare and pretty darn hard to mess up, but they are T-A-S-T-Y and make a fun appetizer or snack that quickly dissapears!
Last month was my turn to host bookclub and I made a little veggie tray and these blistered Shishito Peppers to have some little snacks on hand.
They were gone before the first bottle of wine was kicked and that is saying something – trust me. We often joke that our “bookclub” is really a “wine drinking club” so you know I’m not kidding.
Another great thing is that these Sesame Blistered Shishito Peppers are made with a handful of simple ingredients and can accomodate Whole30, Low Carb, Vegan, Nut Free, Gluten Free and more – which is not an easy task!
Serve these up at your next book club, wine club ;), ladies night, game night, party or even just as a quick pre-dinner snack for date night. Either way, I know you are going to love them <3

Where can I find the Shisito peppers? Are the hot/spicy or sweet? I really want to try these for a meeting I’m attending soon. They look delish.
They are usually mild to medium but I’ve had a few hot ones (occasionally!). They are fairly common this time of year – Trader Joe’s, Costco, Whole Foods, New Seasons, Wegman’s – I would call your local store(s)!!
