How To Make Snow Peas In The Air Fryer
- Toss together the rinsed and dried, trimmed snow peas with your choice of seasonings in a bowl or directly in your air fryer basket.
- Set your air fryer to 400Β°F and air fry for 5-8 minutes, depending on the level of crispness you want. Toss the halfway through so they roast evenly.
How Long Do You Air Fry Snow Peas
Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, the more snow peas you cook in one batch the longer they will take to roast and crisp. If the snow peas have ample airflow, your peas will be perfect in just 4-6 minutes for a light tender roast. For larger batches or crisper snow peas, anywhere from 5-8 minutes is best!
What To Serve With Snow Peas
Air-fried snow peas are great as a side dish to entrees like roast chicken, orange chicken, cashew chicken, general tso's chicken, grilled salmon, Thai tuna curry, or plant-based options like orange chickpeas, vegan scallops, or sesame noodles.
You can serve them with dips and spreads like this soy-free teriyaki sauce, roasted red pepper hummus, baba ghanoush hummus, bbq sauce, or vegan sour cream!
How To Store Leftovers & Freeze
You can store leftover air-fried snow peas in a closed container in the fridge for 5-7 days. To freeze them, allow them to come to room temperature before storing them in an airtight ziplock freezer bag for up to 6 months.
How To Crisp & Reheat Snow Peas
Air fryer snow peas are perfectly delicious cold from the fridge, however, to make them warm and crisp again, you can toss them back in your air fryer and air-fry them at 350Β°F for 2-3 minutes. If you are air-frying them from frozen, add them directly to your air fryer and fry at 375Β°F for 5-7 minutes, tossing halfway through.
