Ingredients
- 1 cup Frozen Peas
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Defrost and Dry Peas: Begin by defrosting the frozen peas completely. Once thawed, dry them thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Season Peas: Place the dried peas in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Toss the peas until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Air Frying Method: Transfer the seasoned peas into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 180°C (350°F) and cook for approximately 15 minutes. Shake the basket every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The peas are done when they become nicely crispy.
- Preheat Oven: While the peas are air frying or after, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) if you choose the baking method.
- Baking Method: For baking, after seasoning, spread the peas in a single layer on a baking tray lined with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the peas turn golden and crispy. Shake the baking tray every few minutes to promote even cooking, especially since peas on the edges cook faster.
Notes
- Drying the peas after defrosting is crucial to get a crispy texture.
- Shaking or stirring the peas frequently during cooking ensures even roasting.
- Adjust salt according to taste but remember the snack is best enjoyed with a balanced seasoning.
- You can use fresh peas but adjust cooking time accordingly since they contain more moisture.
- Use foil-lined trays for easier cleanup when baking.
