Measure and pour sesame oil, garlic, and salt over snap peas. Toss peas in bowl with oil mixture until they are fully coated.

I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8-quart air fryer. Depending on your air fryer size and wattages, cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 more minutes.
FAQ’s
You can serve these in a stir fry with Asian flavors, or mixed in with Air Fryer Sweet and Sour Chicken or with Air Fryer Tuna Steaks. They are also delicious with Air Fryer Teriyaki Pork Chops.
English peas are the most traditional looking, they are full pods with large round peas inside. Snow peas are flatter than a snap pea and have really small peas inside. Sugar snap peas are a cross between snow and garden peas, they have a more rounded pod with a smaller size pea.

These look really good. I don’t have refined sesame oil like in your photo but rather a dark one. (?toasted). Will that work the same? I just bought an air fryer oven and discovered your website. I’m eager to try your recipes. Thank you.
Hi Karen, I have used toasted sesame oil in some of my recipes. The flavor is stronger so you could use a little less. The oil really helps them crisp up and will help the seasonings stick to them. Let me know how it works!
