Lentils are nutritious and cheaper than dried black-eyed peas.

cayenne pepper

🥗Healthier: paprika

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Paprika offers flavor without the heat, while red pepper flakes are often more affordable.

Clean the black-eyed peas carefully to remove sand and debris.

Rinse the peas using a fine strainer to avoid losing any.

Add scallions, yellow and red bell pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, habanero pepper, onion, baking powder, and flour to the cleaned peas.

Add Magi Cube seasoning and mix all ingredients thoroughly.

Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow gluten to form.

Preheat a frying pan and add vegetable oil for frying.

Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of the mixture in; adjust heat as necessary.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping to cook evenly.

Remove fried acra and place on a napkin to absorb excess oil.
