These crispy peas offer a delicious twist on classic wasabi peas, delivering bold flavor and satisfying crunch with minimal effort. Made with just one base ingredient—peas—and enhanced with simple pantry spices, they cook to perfection in under 10 minutes in an air fryer. Packed with immune-supporting vitamins, peas transform into a nutritious snack ideal for midday cravings. The air fryer ensures a quick, effortless preparation, resulting in a light yet crispy texture that’s both wholesome and irresistibly snackable.
To make this recipe, you will need:
- An Air Fryer
- Cooked Peas: You will want your peas to be very dry, otherwise they will not turn out crispy. If you have frozen peas, rinse them under warm water for 10-20 seconds and then pat dry with a dish towel
- Salt: Salt is essential for hydration, electrolyte balance, and trace minerals. Avoid refined salts and choose unrefined options like Himalayan pink or Celtic sea salt.
- Garlic Powder
- Pepper
- Oil (to spray the air fryer)
Tips:
- You can eat the peas plain, use the spices listed in this recipe or add other spice blends you have (just keep measurements the same).
How to Store:
- You should make and eat these the same day, but if you have leftovers, store in a sealed airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
