Snap peas are a healthy and delicious side dish that cooks in under 10 minutes in the air fryer. Air frying gives them a slightly blistered skin and keeps them crisp-tender. You'll find the simple recipe, ingredients, and timing here.

Ingredients

  • Oil spray
  • Salt

Steps

  1. 01Wash the snap peas. If the strings along the seam are tough, pull them off. Some varieties are stringless.
  2. 02Spray lightly with oil. Season with salt.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer. These cook fast, 5 to 6 minutes.
Snap peas should stay bright green and crunchy with slightly blistered skin. If they turn drab olive and bend without snapping, they're overcooked. Check them a minute early. The window between perfectly blistered and overdone is narrow.
