Crunchy Roasted Peas Recipe
Introduction
Crunchy roasted peas are a delicious and healthy snack that’s easy to make at home. Whether you use an air fryer or oven, these crispy treats are packed with flavor and perfect for munching anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Defrost the peas and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Step 2: Place the dried peas in a bowl and toss together with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.
- Step 3 (Air Fryer method): Pour the peas into the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes. Shake the basket every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The peas are done when they’re nice and crispy.
- Step 4 (Oven method): Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the peas out in a single layer on a foil-lined baking tray. Bake for about 20 minutes, shaking the tray every few minutes to help them cook evenly, until the peas are crispy and golden.
Tips & Variations
- Make sure to dry the peas completely after defrosting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Try adding other seasonings like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or parmesan for a flavor twist.
- If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the garlic powder to ½ teaspoon.
Storage
Store roasted peas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them crispy. If they lose crunch, you can re-crisp them briefly in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 3–5 minutes.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use fresh peas instead of frozen?
Fresh peas contain more moisture and may not crisp up as well. It’s best to use frozen peas that are fully defrosted and dried for this recipe.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
The oven method works just as well. Spread the peas evenly on a baking tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, shaking the tray occasionally.
