Instructions

Gather all the ingredients & equipment for the recipe. Always read the notes for tips & more information about the recipe.

Prep the Green Peas

Measure the Green Peas. Thaw them completely in a Kitchen Colander at room temperature if you have time. Or microwave them to thaw quickly. Then spread them out on a kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry gently. Make sure that there is no moisture on the surface of the peas. Or else it will take a lot of time to crisp these up.

Air Fry the Peas

Once these are dry, transfer these to a Mixing Bowl and add Olive Oil+ Salt + Garlic Powder to it. Mix well with a Mixing Spoon.
Preheat the air fryer at 350*F for 5 minutes. Now transfer the peas to the basket of the air fryer and spread them out in a single layer.
Air fry these at 350*F for 10 minutes. Then give these a good shake. Spread again.
Reduce the temperature & set it now at 270*F and air fry for about 20 minutes till crispy. Now note this - the small petite peas will take about 20 minutes. Whereas the larger peas might take up to 30-35 minutes till they become crispy. Also the timing might vary depending upon the moisture retention inside the peas.
Texture Alert - Also do not expect a crunchy texture of the peas. When you will bite these in your mouth, these will be slightly crisp and chewy at the same time.
Your air-fryer Green Peas are ready.
