Instructions

  • Take 1 cup peas. I used frozen ones here directly into the air fryer basket.
  • It took 5 minutes of air frying in a non preheated air fryer at 360F or 180C to thaw them out.
  • In case you are using thawed or fresh green peas, you can skip this step.
  • Just ensure they are not soaking wet and use them.
  • Now add ¼ tsp. Salt, ¼ tsp. Pepper and 1 tsp. Olive oil and toss the peas with it.
  • Add them to preheated air fryer at 360F or 180C and air fry for 10 minutes.
  • It is important to keep shaking the basket once every couple of minutes.
  • This ensures even cooking.
  • You will see that your peas start shrinking in size and may even look a little wrinkled.
  • I also noticed that as they got drier and crispier some peas exploded.
  • That is not a cause for worry.
  • After air frying, check how done they are.
  • If they are not crunchy enough, increase the temperature to 400F or 200C.
  • Then air fry for 2-5 minutes more.
  • You will have nice crispy peas ready to eat.
  • Be careful while taking them out as they will be very hot.
  • Bring them down to room temperature if you are planning to store them.
  • They taste best when freshly air fried.
  • Also remember that they will continue to crisp up more when kept after air frying.
  • Enjoy your tasty crispy peas in air fryer.
  • They are so delicious.

Notes

1. Avoid overcrowding: Make sure that you do not put too many peas in at one time or they will not crisp up.
2. Shake the basket: Frequent shaking will ensure that the peas cook and crisp up evenly.
3. Adjust seasoning: Adjust seasonings as per taste. Spice it up by adding cayenne or you may use maple syrup for a sweeter taste.
4. Storage: If you have leftovers, allow the peas to completely cool down. Then store in an air tight container.
You can crisp them up/reheat in the air fryer when eating.
