Description

Experience a delightful fusion of culinary inspiration with these air-fried snow peas, reminiscent of vibrant East Indian and Asian flavors. The snow peas, a verdant delight, offer a satisfyingly crisp and delicate crunch. When sourced fresh and in season, their refreshing taste elevates this dish to new heights.

The snow peas are enveloped in a delicately spiced coating crafted from finely ground almonds, aromatic curry powder, earthy turmeric, and a whisper of paprika, creating a subtly warm and peppery flavor profile. Air frying transforms this coating into a symphony of textures, achieving an irresistibly crunchy and beautifully golden exterior. Complementing the crispy snow peas is a simple, yet flavorful dipping sauce prepared with mayonnaise as its base.

Infused with additional curry seasoning and a medley of complementary spices, the sauce is served warm, creating a harmonious pairing with the snow peas. Snow peas, sometimes called Chinese peas, are easily identifiable by their distinct flat shape and the small, spaced-out pea pods visible within. Their light and airy nature requires a little attention when air frying.

To prevent them from being displaced by the rapid air circulation, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Secure the paper with cooking spray or a heat-safe object. For optimal airflow, create small perforations in the paper using a toothpick before arranging the snow peas in a single layer.

This ensures even cooking and maximum crispness.

Instructions

    1.
    Make the curry-spiced coating for the snow peas first. Use your hands to crush sliced almonds into pieces. You want a mix of large and small pieces, but even the largest need to be small enough to not fall off the snow peas later. On a clean plate, combine the crushed almonds with almond flour, salt, pepper, curry powder, paprika, and turmeric to complete the coating. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water, and set this aside.
    2.
    Turn on your air fryer to preheat to 350 degrees. While it preheating, dredge multiple washed and dried snow peas in the egg yolk mixture. Use a fork to lift the snow peas one by one out of the egg, let excess egg yolk drip off, and transfer to the plate of crunchy coating. Use clean fingers or another utensil to toss the snow pea back and forth in the coating until it about 70% coated. When all the snow peas are breaded in crunchy coating, arrange them on your air fryer cooking tray.
    3.
    Cook the snow peas in your air fryer for only about 8 minutes. Check on your snow peas to make sure your air fryer isn blowing them around. If this happens, check the cooking tips described in the recipe introduction. For doneness, the snow peas will be as light as a feather and crisp. The coating should be golden brown to dark brown all over. The snow peas only need to cool for a minute or two before you can eat them as finger food.
    4.
    While the snow peas are in the air fryer, you can make a curry dipping sauce in just 60 seconds. In a heat-safe dish, stir together mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, curry powder, and onion powder. If you want to adjust the spice level of the sauce, you can reduce the chili sauce, omit it entirely, or substitute it with chili powder. If you omit the chili sauce, you may wish to add salt to the curry sauce at your discretion. Warm the sauce by microwaving it for 5-10 seconds on a high setting. It perfect for dipping the curry snow peas in!
