🌿 Crispy Air Fryer Green Vatana (Dried Green Peas Snack)

Intro:
Make this quick and healthy Crispy Air Fryer Green Vatana — a protein-packed snack made from dried green peas! Light, crunchy, and full of flavor, these roasted green peas are perfect for guilt-free munching any time of day.

Ingredients

  • Green Vatana (Dried Green Peas) – 1 cup (soaked overnight and cooked until tender, not mushy)

  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp

  • Garlic powder – 1 tsp

  • Cumin powder – 1 tsp

  • Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp

  • Salt – ½ tsp (adjust to taste)

  • Black pepper – ¼ tsp

  • Cajun seasoning – optional, for a spicy kick

Instructions

1. Soak and Cook:
Soak the dried green peas overnight. Next day, cook for about 20–25 minutes until just tender. Drain, cool, and pat dry.

2. Season:
In a bowl, combine cooked peas with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning (if using). Toss to coat evenly.

3. Air Fry:
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Spread the peas in a single layer and air fry for 18–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crisp and golden.

4. Serve:
Let cool slightly — they’ll turn extra crispy as they cool. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight jar for a crunchy, healthy snack anytime!

💡 Tip:
You can experiment with different flavors — try chat masala, smoked paprika, or peri-peri seasoning for fun variations!
